NYC Bike Racks: David Byrne


David Byrne, best known as the former front-man of the Talking Heads is the master mind and designer behind New York City's newest installment of bike racks. He teamed up with the New York City Department of Transportation and New York art gallery PaceWildenstein to produced nine new racks which will be placed in various locations throughout the city. Each one is an iconic representation of the neighborhood it's located in. They'll be in use throughout the city for a year before going on display and up for sale at PaceWildenstein. Visit DavidByrne.com to view more images and see a map of locations.

i wish my bike could rest upon something this classy! Do you ride? What kind of bike?

I do, I've never owned a car and don't plan on owning one anytime soon. I get around via a vintage 1973 Schwinn Collegiate cruiser. I love it more than a person should love any bike.

I forgot to ask, what kind of bike do you ride? And I agree, I'd love to be able to lock my bike up to one of these snazzy racks. My town has far to few of them.
