I was on tour with DC Shoes a few years back and brought my camera with me. One of our stops was in Zurich. I saw this sculpture incorporated in to a drinking fountain with a couple of bikes and snapped the shot. Nothing spectacular and nothing overly fascinating. It was just one of those days of leisure strolling while drinking a beer. The nice thing about areas like this in Europe, is that they have embraced the bike as a legitimate form of transportation. People everywhere use the bike to get around. This is such a huge contrast to Southern California where you either are a fanatic cyclist, or get honked at and viewed as nothing more than just a kid who never outgrew his toy. There seems to be no in between and cyclists here have to fight for every square inch of real estate with often horrible outcome.
