Bike rack attack

Last week i went thrift and record shopping with my friend Chris along byres road. I came across the first Talking Heads album that had been produced by Brian Eno. "More songs about Buildings and Food", i then started thinking about what David Byrne was up to these days.
Last thing i heard was that he had created a sound installation called "playing the building"
In short he turned a building in new york into one big rad musical instrument.



After googling him for more than two hours and re-obsessing over Byrnes awesome solo stuff i came to learn that he was a cycling enthusiast. Like me he was annoyed at the fact you end up having to chain your bike to rusty lampposts and school railing where raging 12 year olds try to steal your wheels and handle bar grips. The goverment are encouraging people to cycle or walk to work instead of taking the bus, but the lack of bike racks doesn't help much.

He decided to team up with the new york city of tranportation and design attractive looking bike racks for the city.

Here are the finished products





I wish someone would do something like this in Glasgow, would look tonnes better than the little black bike racks that are almost always full.
