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. :)

    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!

    I agree with Alan. Every city should have some.

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

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

    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.
