Good morning, In a rather ironic twist I found out this morning that Arts in the Park has made and painted a bunch of bike-art silhouettes to put on the downtown lampposts starting this Fall when the plants come down. After some discussion with the artist doing the work (Debbie and Sonda) it turns out that everybody wants REAL bikes downtown too - with one exception.
The bikes are 1/8" aluminum sheet with whimsical scenes painted on them. The good that could come from this would be if seeing art-bikes downtown gets everybody excited enough to overcome the resistance to real bikes. In fact there is a company that makes a bike parking fixture that hauls bikes up a pole.
