This plaque marks the spot that Gloucester Boy Jamie McDonald broke the world record for longest time ever spent on a static bicycle.

Jamie made the decision to attempt the record, which stood at 224 hours and 24 minutes. It was a challenge he’d conceived whilst cycling from Bangkok to Gloucester. He finally stepped off the exercise bike set up within a marquee in Gloucester on the 18th December 2012, after pedalling for a world record breaking 268 hours – more than eleven days.
