Blogger, biker and, oh yeah, Talking Head David Byrne has designed nine new bike racks for New York City, and each one reflects the neighborhood in which it was installed. Sadly, the cycle parking is temporary and all nine will come down in about 11 months, leaving New York with just 5,000 other bike racks.
Byrne’s designs include a dollar sign (”Wall Street”), a reclining woman like you’d see on a mud flap (”Olde Times Square”) and a silhouette of a man (”Chelsea”).
None of the racks are directly along the path of New York’s Summer Streets program, which wraps this Saturday, but two are nearby. After the installation runs its course, Byrne hopes to sell his racks off as works of art.
