Slinky?

This newly installed bike stand at a local school reminds me of the old slinky toys (do they still make them?) only a lot more colourful. This was a cool but sunny day so not many kids rode their bikes on this day. The stand goes well with the seating they have installed around the trees too!

  3. Great idea for a bike rack, much better looking than the usual metal type.

  4. The colors are bright and cheerful as they should be! Well-coordinated with the benches, too. Some imaginative folks designed this.

  5. I do believe I just saw some slinkys the other day! And this stand certainly looks like an adult version of the toy! Great colors!

  7. What a great idea, give some color to a mundane object. I like the benches too. And test - it sure does look like a slinky.
