Bike Stands at the ROM 5


Based on the ROM's collection of ancient ceramics, this stand gives lots of spaces for locking a bike. I have just spent a long time trying to figure out what type of pitcher this would be but no luck!

I have no idea too...
Cool, you captured the bikes on the background. ;-)

I really like these bike stands. We wanted to visit the ROM this weekend with my MiL but decided to brave the parade instead. :)

I am always amazed with these bike stands.

This is gorgeous, but I can't figure out how it work as a bike stand. But you said "for locking a bike" so I can see how that would work. It really is lovely, isn't it?

These are a bit too pretty to stand a bike against. And that from a bike nut!

Randy said...

I agree with Alan. Every city should have some.

Kitty said...

ha, how clever?
I like that there is some humor to these.

These are great - keep 'em coming!

Great. I like these bikestands. The pitcher form is ewer, i.e., a base and a curved spout.

Unusual!

I think it looks a little like a 'Grecian' urn Red, might be.. outside a museum??

Sharon said...

Another great example. These must be as much fun to look as they are to use.

These bike stands are again unassuming urban art. I really like this classical pitcher.
