    I’m guessing rear wheel parking only otherwise it’ll fall over. You’ll need a long lock to be able to get it through the rear triangle and I wouldn’t want to only lock the rear wheel. Personally I’d just put my bike on the other side of the rack, lean it against it and lock it through the frame.

    You can lock 2 or 3 bikes along the back.

    The front is best used as a bench.

  3. Somebody paid actual money to have this thing created.

    This person should not be trusted with money.

    Most bike racks suck, especially this one. For the most part, they’re poorly designed for locking bicycles to them.

    Most artistic bike racks are just that. For looks. Actually safely locking a bike is almost impossible on that.

  6. It’s backwards. Turn it around. Put bike over the rail, tire in groove and lock it up.

  7. This is the difference between an architect and an engineer.

    Dealt with this many times. Looks good on paper.

  8. For the look & ambience. It doesn’t seem out of place & the “bike rack” probably utilizes trust over security

    Rack-shaped art installation. And I use the word “art” very generously.

  10. Looks like a state/national park trying to make their bike rack look “rustic.”

    If they really wanted to do that, a triathlon-style tall sawhorse setup would do the trick. Secure (for people who know how to use it), and more lockable than this. Would kind of suck for a loaded touring bike, though.

  11. ‘How can we guarantee any bike using our sculpure as a rack is broken within 5 minutes?’

    This is one of the least functional bike racks I’ve ever viewed. This rack would allow for most to only lock from the front tire if used as designed. If your bike is equipped with a quick release hub, it does nothing to actually secure your bike. A proper bike rack should support the frame of a bike making contact in 2 locations for stability. This and those “comb” style racks where the front tire is inserted in something to support the weight of he entire bicycle are referred to as wheel benders. They should be outlawed.

    Any bike rack that doesn’t let you easily fit a U lock around your frame a wheel and the rack is a shitty bike rack
