CityRacks Competition NYC 2008
Throughout the city, cyclists use sign posts as bike racks. The dimensions of the standard street post are ideal for all types of locks, and their ubiquity already define them as part of the language of New York City’s streets. Instead of tossing the old ones into the garbage, we proposed putting them back where they belong: on the sidewalk as urban furniture. Bent into various yet specific shapes as bike racks and seating, these street signs have a second act as part of the city’s dynamic street life.
