Back in September, we featured some really cool bike racks, which were created by David Byrne. In case you don’t remember that post, or if you are new to the site, Byrne’s racks are sculptures that outline various figures including beautiful ladies, dogs, cars and so forth. With a finish coat that goes beyond the generic grey you might be use to seeing, it’s safe to say that he stands out.
Although today’s featured bike rack isn’t as artsy, it is very futuristic and equally as noteworthy. The conceptual City Rack by designers Ilya Tkach and Nikita Gutsalenko has a lock built-in so your can secure your bike without having to unpack, or haul around your own bulky lock. Like a parking metre, they locks are secured after they receive payment. Here’s hoping they don’t simply unlock once your time expires, but that said, thieves always seem to figure out how to break these things before they hit the streets. Still cool though.
