Such lovely colors. But to honest…and this may be grim.. where I live when I see a bike painted — namely in white and with flowers — it’s because a cyclist got killed by a car. These white bikes serve as memorials for that cyclist and are placed in the area where they got killed. Whenever I pass these white bikes on my way to anywhere, my heart sinks and I wonder “how did that happen?”
Oh that is such a shame, but a nice memorial for those that died. Hopefully, the sight of the bike & flowers will remind motorists to slow down & look out for bikes 🤞
Yes, definitely!
Very nice idea to decorate the bikes with colours and flowers. #PPAC
Thanks, Natalie 😊 Got to love upcycling 😃
Beautiful, Jez. They remind me of the bicycles in a botanical garden display at the Bellagio several years ago. I’ll send you the link to my post a million years ago if I can find it.
Awesome, thanks, Marsha 😊
You bet. Enjoyed the post. 🙂
These bikes are perfect for this week’s PPAC. Thanks Jez 😀
Thanks, Cee 😊
Different colour of bikes…yes, love them 👍🏼
A fantastic way of repurposing old bikes 😊
Yes, for sure! 🚲 🚲 🚲
