NEW YORK(AP)
Musician, artist and bicycling enthusiast David Byrne has
designed nine unusual bike racks that have been installed around
New York City.
The Department of Transportation says the artistic installations
by the Talking Heads singer are meant to spark interest in
bicycling.
Each rack reflects its location. A guitar-shaped rack named
Hipster has been placed in Brooklyn's trendy Williamsburg
neighborhood. A rack that looks like a dollar sign is in the Wall
Street area.
Byrne was one of the founders of the music group Talking Heads
in the 1970s. He's been publishing and exhibiting his artworks
over the last decade.
