Bicycle Advocacy in High Heels....
As an addendum to the last post - I was digging around doing some research on bicycle racks and remembered the ones David Byrne did for NYC. Wonderful stuff - I'd love to see these heels scattered around Sydney. His blog and book The Bicycle Diaries, chronicle David's observations and insights as he pedals his way around some of the world's major cities. He totally gets it. As Planetizen reviewed his book "Bryne's writings feel like haiku for urbanists".

A joint project of the Powerhouse Museum and the RTA, as part of the NSW BikePlan, this Australia-wide competition gives you that chance. Open to anyone with a creative bent, designs are invited for a public bike rack that is not only an inspirational piece of street art but a functional device.
The winner will receive a cash prize of $10,000 and their bike rack will be manufactured and installed at selected locations around Parramatta, Penrith and Liverpool. Second and third prizes are $5,000 and $2,000 respectively.
