New York illustrator’s drawing of cyclist goes viral

The video of New York illustrator Christoph Niemann’s caricature of a cyclist (pictured) has gone viral, with more than five million people watching since he posted it on Facebook four days ago.

Niemann used the car window as his sketchbook, drawing the cycling man with a black dry erase marker while riding in the backseat of a vehicle from The New Yorker offices, he told NBC News.

As the vehicle moves, the drawing appears to move, too. Without pedaling, the cyclist responds to the ebb and flow of traffic.

At one point, the stick-figure cyclist, clad in a black, long-sleeved shirt, shoes and helmet, waits for a traffic light in front of parked Citi Bikes.
