From the colorful and sometimes strange world of arts comes this creation made by a Czech artist to commemorate the London 2012 Summer Olympics in the British capital on Friday, July 27.
Artist David Cerny transformed a traditional London double-decker bus into a moving sculpture with huge arms that represents an athlete doing push-ups and which is named "London Boosted".
Cerny fitted the 6-tonne bus with a special hydraulic system that allows it move up and down on the arms, accompanied by recordings of a groaning voice while it exercises.
"There is one common exercise for every sportsman in the world, and that is push-ups," said Cerny, according to Reuters. "It is training for sport activities but at the same time it is also punishment in armies and prisons. So the push-ups are a very universal physical activity...It is in a way very ironic."
The "London Boosted" sculpture will reside outside the Czech Olympic House in London's Islington neighborhood during the course of the games.

where do they come up with these dumb idea's.. and who's paying for it
A response one would expect from someone who thinks art is a guy's name.
i like it, quite creative
Pole vaulting would have been art, push ups is just a dumb idea.
Wow, we agree.
Now, how does it feel like when you're inside the bus?
why, thank you ;)
muscle bus!
It's not even a London bus its never operated in London in its life also it's not a routemaster either as ITN news seems to think.
Double decker buses are London's trademark and representation of what that country truly has. They hosted the year's olympics with such passion.
