Talking Heads design bike racks  
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.

Shortlists for NY bike furniture competition  
NYC bike lock, Lang & Dobbs
The finalists of the CityRacks Design Competition to design bike parking furniture for New York have been announced. We believe that Andrew Lang and Harry Dobbs ‘I ♥ NY’ entry should win as it encourages the user to lock their frame and both wheels in a similar fashion to our own caMden (M-Stand) stand. The stand also has a great New York feel, it is obviously influenced by the iconic I ♥ NY logo.

Puma Bike & SAFE: Design Takes on Risk at MOMA, NY  
The Puma ‘Anti-theft’ bike designed by Adam Thorpe, Joe Hunter and Jens Martin Skibsted and manufactured by Biomega is showing in MOMA’s SAFE: Design Takes on Risk exhibition.The bike featured an integrated lock, if you break the lock you break the bike. Hopefully this will deter thieves as you get less use or resale value from a broken bike.
