Bike Racks of LA
The Bike Racks of Los Angeles
The good people at Bicycle Fixation have recently posted a colorful collection of photos showing some of LA’s more interesting bike racks.
From Richard Risemberg, who edits the site and did the bike rack photography:
“Los Angeles has for a long time been a city of dreary architecture, spaces seemingly designed under an imperative towards blandness,” writes Rick. “In an effort to improve both the functioning and the appearance of our city, Los Angeles has placed a number of bike racks in the area around downtown that try to do more than just give you a place to loop a U-lock: acknowledgement not only of the bicycle’s efficacy and nobility as transport, but also of the very real and fundamental human need for beauty. . .”
