David Byrne’s Bike Racks

Art rocker David Byrne has designed nine temporary bike racks which have been installed around town as part of the Summer Streets program I’ve been raving about. The dollar sign is naturally on Wall Street, the high heel is in front of Bergdorf’s, and the reclining woman is in Times Square, although today’s tourists may not get the reference. The lonely man (bottom center) is, sadly, in Chelsea. The racks will be in place for a year, then Byrne gets to sell them as works of art.
