Bikes and the City

Bike Share bikes are overtaking the inner city of Melbourne

I never seem to see anyone using them, they just seem to pop up in the middle of the footpath, like they are in a photo shoot of urban cool, the bike hanging out in graffiti covered industrial streets.

like the art director has ensured that the detritus of modern life is colour coded to the bikes, some sort of statement about rejecting the confines of traffic restrictions with the freedom of a bike (that you have to pay for by the minute and you have to wear the approved helmet to ride)

I'm genuinely starting to wonder if they are paying young artist to pick up these picks, ride them to more photogenic places, the brief to leave them in such a way as to pick up the golden late afternoon sun, ensure that the shadows play in an artisitc way on the red brick wall.

Or maybe, just maybe I've been locked inside the house for too long.
