Artist makes London bus do push-ups - video

A sculpture created for the Olympics has given a London bus mechanical arms, allowing it do push-ups.

The piece, named 'London Boosted', was created by Czech artist David Černý, Sky News reports.



The bus has been installed outside the Czech Olympic headquarters in Islington for the Olympics.

On why he chose that particular exercise for the bus, Černý said: "There is one common exercise for every sportsman in the world, and that is push-ups."

While doing its workout, the bus plays sounds of athletes exercising and displays video clips in its windows.

Černý hopes the bus, powered by an electrical engine, will work non-stop for the entirety of the Olympics.
