London 2012 Olympics: Czech artist David Cerny reveals athletic Routemaster bus in time for Games
A Czech artist has embraced the Olympics and to commemorate their imminent start has created a full-sized Routemaster bus which performs press-ups outside his country's Games headquarters in London.
David Cerny has turned one of London's famed double decker buses into a push-up performing robotic sculpture for the Olympic Games.
Complete with a groan, the bus does press-ups with the help of an engine powering a pair of giant red robotic arms.
Where it is clear to see where Mr Cerny found the inspiration to use a red double decker for his London 2012 sculpture, the artist said he thought push-ups would be fittting as every athlete completes them for training yet they are also considered a form of punishment.
The bus will reside outside the Czech Olympic headquarters in Islington, north London for the duration of the Games.
