Musician, artist and bicycling enthusiast David Byrne has designed nine temporary bike racks which have been installed around town as part of the Summer Streets program. The Department of Transportation says the artistic installations by the Talking Heads singer are meant to spark interest in bicycling.Each rack reflects its location. A guitar-shaped rack named Hipster has been placed in Brooklyn's trendy Williamsburg neighborhood,The dollar sign is of course on Wall Street, the high heel is in front of Bergdorf's, the reclining woman is in Times Square, lonely man is in Chelsea. The racks will be there for a year. After that Byrne will sell it as art pieces.
I think thats a clever idea.
