I like bicycles and coffee. Active transportation policy nerd mostly in a California context. Movement by bike, on foot, on buses and trains. I've been around. Old GenX guy who respects pronouns. He / him.

Full of Dirt, Maybe Abandoned.
A photo looking down towards an asphalt surface. In the middle is a round metal cover, partially rusted, with the words "CLEAN OUT" across the middle and "Christy" in a stylized script that looks like it could be a trandemark. Somebody has painted around this metal object "FULL OF DIRT MAYBE ABANDONED". We can see partially faded white pavement markings nearby in mottled sunlight.

This is a bike rack with six step instructional diagram.

Does anyone know the story on these bike racks in downtown Nashville TN? I see what they're going for but does anyone actually like or use these?
A bike rack with an unusual design mounted in the sidewalk on an urban street. The rack is two vertical steel posts spaced very closely together about four feet tall, with a horizontal element attaching the top ends in a shape reminiscent of moustache style bicycle handlebars.Detail of the landscapeforms bicycle rack showing a use diagram. A traditional "road" style bike hangs from the horizontal moustache element from inside the front triangle where the top tube meets the seat tube. The front wheel is detached from the front fork and hangs ... somewhere? Apparently everybody carries a u lock with attached cable, because this diagram assumes both.

I'm in Nashville for reasons but the "Nash Vegas" bachelorette capital of the world isn't really my scene so I tend to go way off the beaten track to find stuff like this. This Crossroads indeed seem really incredible. The energy and vibe there is fantastic; very much my kind of people.

Cat shaped bike rack at a cat cafe.
A metal sculpture of a cat on a concrete sidewalk doubles as a bike rack at the Crossroads Cat Cafe in Nashville Tennessee. A yard sign nearby says "Bike Rack" with an arrow pointing to the cat bike rack.
