When you need to park your bike it makes it interesting if the bike rack is special. I like 2, 5 and 13.

25 Awesome and Unusual Bike Racks
by Emily Temple                flavorwire.com

We know it’s not officially summer quite yet, but the way we see it, we’re square in the center of prime bike riding season — it’s nice enough to bike around the city, but not so hot that the extra effort plasters all your hair to your face and soaks your t-shirt. But where to put your bike when you’ve reached your destination? If you’re lucky, you can cozy it up to one of these wild and colorful bike racks, which nearly all double as public art in their respective cities. After all, why…

They plan to ride — each on their own mountain bike — north along the Continental Divide to Banff, Alberta. They didn’t get off to a great start, Seckinger wrote on his blog. One of the bikes…
