Why was a man riding a bike with a FIREPLACE around his neck in Leigh?

A man was spotted riding a push bike with a fireplace balanced around his neck in Leigh.

The man, believed to be in his 30s, was seen cruising along Westleigh Lane on Sunday night.

A photo of the man framed perfectly by the mantle piece was taken by April Fillingham, has caused quite a stir on social media.

April, 28, said: "I was in my friend's care when I saw this guy riding down the road on a bike with this massive fireplace.

"We had to turn back and take a better look. It must have been really heavy but he had this massive smile on his face.

"It was pure dedication. He must have really wanted that fireplace."

People loved the stunt on Facebook.

One wrote: "Where there's a will there's a way."

Another added: "Was the fire on I bet he was sweating cobs."
