This forum’s roots date back to the very first bike email list in Austin, starting in 1994, and it played a part in the getting the segregated bike lanes you see all over town.  Be a part of history and make a post!

Interesting Public Art Bicycle Sculpture in Santa Rosa, CA

Wired's website has a small feature about a 60-ft-tall obelisk built from bicycle parts and installed in a public space.

Apparently, the city of Santa Rosa requires all large construction projects to assign 1% of the budget to art in public places. Austin has a similar law, but it only applies to public bond projects. In this case, the $37,000 obelisk was funded by a private $3.7 million Nissan dealership being built.
