Have you seen man cycling round Bristol with a marble run attached to bike?

A man has been cycling around Bristol and South Gloucestershire with a marble run attached to his bike.

Matt Pang is taking requests on where to pedal his 'happy heart bike' next within the BS5 area, which includes St George, Easton and Redfield.

The Hanham dad, who works in the performing arts, said he wanted to bring smiles to people's faces during the coronavirus lockdown.

And residents have absolutely loved seeing the 33-year-old travel down their streets while donned in a bow tie and big red boots.

"I've built and been riding the #happyheartbike around the local community in Hanham on Sundays to deliver free smiles and inspiration to the local people during lockdown," said Matt.

"Quite a few people will be expecting me so they'll be waiting in their gardens or looking out their windows," said Matt.

"But I do get some strange looks from people driving by.

"I haven't been able to work during this time and I wanted to keep performing and make people happy."

He said it's been a hard period for most people in the performing arts industry.

"All my work has been cancelled for the foreseeable future," added Matt.

As well as amusing the younger generation, Matt's invention, which took five days to build, has brought joy to elderly residents currently in self-isolation.
