I loved Talking Heads ‘Road to Nowhere’ - but David Byrne’s bling bling dollar sign as secure bicycle parking seems to me to be going in the same direction and less than cost effective in terms of sustainable use of resources. The bling bling tubular work will make the stands more expensive (certainly than our own secure caMden stands) and I am not convinced will promote secure cycling practice, or survive Art cliché in terms of a comment on New York. Too many artists have used the dollar sign to make a comment on American culture for me to be impressed – but then call me picky.
