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.
