US $21.50
the guitar one is awesome.
They’re biking down the road to nowhere..
That’s cool. would have liked to see him involved with the evolution though.
his designs seem rather shitty.
You misspelled “you’re”, and you neglected to capitalize the first word of your sentence. A period at the end would have been nice. By the way, who is an idiot?
Likely, yes. He recently wrote an opera based on Imelda Marcos’ life.
look’s at map..”we’re almost …somewhere”..lol
Saw Bryne yesterday. Talked to him a few minutes. Says he aint gonna reunite the Talking Heads.
Dave Byrne cycled by me in Barcelona the day before his show
A TRUE SWORDSMAN
yeah, we have these white people in NYC, I guess they think they’re artists, but you go down to williamsburg and see some of their art, it looks like shit, and no one is interested in it, I don’t know how these people get the money for these galleries. In any case they’re fucking up everything driving up cost of living for immigrants like myself. NYC use to be free, now there’s a cop on every corner
Next time I’m in New York I’m going to steal some bike racks. They’re beautiful.
Seems fantastic! We’ve forgone creating beauty for the illusion of practicality! It’s ok to put up a creative picture for the sake of advertisement but our daily needs are meant to blend with commercialism! Go David!!!! Another artist placing his easel where no one has dared.
is that a philippine flag sticker on byrne’s bike?
I started racing bicycles back in the late ’70’s as a wee bitty junior and loved Talking Heads ‘77 but never did I think that cycling and Talking Heads actually mixed! Now all he needs is a 3 pony motor or a 1000w electric hub motor…
seems cheesy
you got it….
Snapping ? I prefer ~venting~ over a useless “news” story. Sorry if you were offended in some way….Byrne’s cool …the story is weak.
Are you serious? A reporter can’t write about Byrne’s bike racks without you snapping?
1m50s Lyrics for a new song by Byrne (cue bicycling generated music and images)?
‘Yeah — we’re almost — almost somewhere.”
“I think here — yes.”
“We can go a nice iced coffee.”
“And we can kind of walk from here.”
The Wall Street Journal is slipping…this is a useless story…but hey…gotta stay on the cutting edge of in depth,hard hitting,no hold bars and important stories…bike racks…this guys journalistic integrity will be questioned though if he doesn’t do a follow up on this story…think Pulitzer Prize dude don’t falter now…
Are you SERIOUS?
Great comment CLIBERACKI.
I witnessed a man do exactly that around 47st and Park Ave, in NYC about 30 years ago. He rode onto the curb, flipped some messenger guy’s fast-release wheel clamps and rode away in traffic with the whole frame on his shoulder, before a nearby cop could get to him. BRAZEN. People walking all around him too.
I noticed that after that, folks in the area started chaining the FRAME to the signs and carrying their front wheels with them when delivering small packages.
2:03 Hes barefoot
Some people GET IT.
Maybe Some people don’t get it, but some people do.
These are needed items. His music is great . THIS project, in my opinion is just as impressive as any of his music. EXCELLENT IDEA. Right products, right time, right reason– and artistic too. Just position them to try to balance the possibilty of blocking the sidewalk, versus the need for cars to open their doors completely for older or maybe handicapped people and you are fine. Way to go DB. !!
wow i love how they stress we rode 6 miles!!!!! rofl thats nothing i ride 20miles a day and these racks are kinda stupid
