Making a stand

Bike stands tend to either be the standard C tube, or a variation on that theme, but as street furniture why can’t they blend in more in the case of these adapted plantdocks
or stand out more and function as public art, in the case of the David Byrne’s bike stands in New York City, whose form reflect the area or street in which they are located. A dollar sign for Wall Street and so on..
What do you prefer, your bike stands to blend into the streetscape or for them to announce themselves to the world ?
i really enjoy reading your blog, would also like to see some picture of your town and its people/bikes
thanks Chris, that was the plan – we’ve had rain, frost and floods since I started the blog a few weeks back, but intend to post up some local photos in the new year once people are back on their bikes and not wrapped up in the all weather gear.
If any readers have photos of irish cycle chic, let me know and i’ll link to them here.
