When you first see the Bike Bike sculpture in Martin Place, it takes your breath away. It's huge.
Constructed from old bicycles in the shape of a Penny Farthing, this 12 metre high bicycle by Alasdair Nicol is part of the
City of Sydney's 2010 Art and About Festival.
Thought provoking and absolutely timely as Sydney continues to "green" the city and encourage us to think about sustainable modes of transport. Oh and it's a beautiful work of art too.
It's at the Macquarie Street end of Martin Place until October 24.
Another wonderful bicycle sculpture was unveiled in August this year in Gdansk, Poland. during the 30th anniversary celebrations of the Solidarity movement. Honouring the Gdansk shipyard workers, whose most common mode of transport was the bicycle.
