An Auckland man has combined a passion for cycling and an icon of Kiwi pop culture to raise money for charity.

On Sunday morning, Carl Wells cycled 28 kilometers, tracking his ride via GPS to create a portrait of Laser Kiwi.

Laser Kiwi sprang to fame during the 2015-2016 flag referendum, when it was proposed as a design for a new flag.

Wells has been creating designs out of his charity bike rides for three years now. He says he chose Laser Kiwi because he wanted to do something different.
