Disco Monster Bike

Came across this disco ball of a monster bike in Brooklyn last week.




I'm glad that even though it couldn't be flashier, it still has the common sense to have a bottle cage. Disco Bike also seems to pay no heed to traditional locking methods, such as locking your bike to a fixed object.
I can't recall if the age of Disco was one of free love, it obviously was an age of free locking.

Bike Parking in LA

When I first flew into LAX I came across this bike rack. Quite impressive, quite empty.





















A few days later around Venice Beach I locked up to this little guy, possibly the easiest bike parking for a city to install. Take the head off of an old school coin-fed parking meter and then slide a new bike rack over the existing pole. If your city is getting rid of its old parking meters, this is a great way to lobby for more bike parking. NYCDOT finally got on board with this method in the past few months.
