I initially knew about only 1/2 of these permanent bike art installations in our city, some which I didn't look hard enough at. Or used to just cycle by, abit clueless.
So easy to get used to outdoor art and take the ho-hum attitude. But alot of other cities don't have it. Or do they?
Oh yea, this would not include artful bike parking racks. (I know for certain Toronto beats Vancouver on this one.)

Nice.
I would love to like there.
We have some pretty fun art in the city here too, because we got all cuted up for the 2002 games.

Or restaurants with overtly bike art themes. I know a bakery on Vancouver Island that has bike installed with faux baguettes, installed over the shop front. Worthy of a restaurant review and art review.

Malkin, here's a suite of Toronto's bike rack art:
http://bikerackart.com/index.html
I have visited the city several times since most of my family is there, but never seem to pay attention to the "finer details" that have developed in the city. Obviously I lock up my bike there elsewhere because I visit other areas of city.
But perhaps, should pay attention in a fews month or so, when I'm there.Last edited by shootingstar; 05-02-2010 at 04:42 PM.

Chicago and Paris come to mind. Well, Paris had bike art 10 years ago. Not sure if they still do.
