Bicycle Art

Yesterday I picked up two bicycle statues for the house at the Dunn Brothers in Rosemount (that's a picture of the Rosemount Cycling Club standing in front of Dunn Brothers - they have this picture of themselves over the fireplace inside. I met the guy in the RAGBRAI shirt while on RAGBRAI). The coffee shop has a number of sculptures on their walls by Jaak, a local artist, and while looking at his website, I noticed that in addition to all the guitars he creates, he had bicycles made from bicycle bits. I sent him an email, and he managed to find parts to create two of them for me. I believe I'm going to hang them in the kitchen in places that wouldn't be big enough for something else, such as over the window. There's a thin space up there, and it will look like a bike is driving across the top of the window frame.

Cool art! Reminds me of a neighbor's garden that has bike art in it. I've been meaning to take a pic for you...
