"The statue depicts Mr. Layton grinning on the back of a full-size tandem bicycle similar to one he owned. It was designed to invite people to hop on the front seat."
“A tandem bike is about co-operation: working towards a common goal. More ground can be covered when you’re working together,” [Mike Layton] said. “That’s how he lived his life; He worked hard, he co-operated with others in his job and he had fun through it all.”
