National Cycle Network http://www.sustrans.org.uk/default.asp?sID=1089735289781 route 1 is the principal long-distance cycle route up the east side of Britain. Here (between Ryhope and South Hetton) it follows a long length of the disused railway, crossing the A19 at this point. There was a time (pre 1960s) when a large proportion of working men cycled to and from work. The figure on the bridge must be one of the few survivors of this breed.
