Spider-Man on his penny-farthing on Langham Close in Sharples

Character Peter Parker is famous for morphing into the costume and using his web-making skills to climb buildings.

But it seems he is now sticking to the ground like the rest of us.

And his comic intention has done the trick with many people sharing their own photographs of him online and commenting where they have seen him.

He has been captured riding on a number of roads in the borough, including Langham Close in Sharples, helping to put a smile on the faces of many.

The identity of the man behind the mask remains unknown though.
