We were on the hunt for the perfect city bike ride to represent Durham for over a year. We couldn't find it, so we had to go to Alaska and partner up with Aurora Hablett aka Stravzilla, who creates the rarest forms of GPS visualizations.
The goal was to find "Major the Bull," over the city's center mass, in a closed-loop ride that stays on relatively safe streets, highlights neighborhood diversity, and cruises past NCCU and Duke.
The ride needed to be long enough to be an experience but short enough to be accessible.
The big reveal is that Aurora worked with us to create a commemorative art piece that has the city inside of the shape of the bull. Now, we can show our Bull City Pride as we literally draw the bull with our bikes and then celebrate our city with this new street portrait of Major.
There are a lot of different drawings and sketches of Major the Bull, but this one is in the blueprint of our streets! And it's going to take over!
A special thanks to our Sponsors for helping us bring creative events to Durham!
