YARD ART in their natural state

[CCR]

i drive around alot for work, heres a couple "Yard Art" bikes Ive seen today. I see a bunch usually but just decided to start taking pics when i see em. Ill try to post some more as I continue to drive/spot/photo them.

J C Higgins girls 3speed





Sears Spaceliner - cool tires too but dry-rotted

[ExtraBlaze]

Those are cool bikes.Around here everyone with a yard art bike has a ten speed and they paint the whole thing with house paint(tires,seat,chain).
If I put one of those bikes in my yard they'd be ganked in to seconds.

[CCR]

yeah i passed takin pics on a few, and the "paint it all" technique is quite popluar here too. just figured id photo the ones with Rat Rod potential

those would be gone in my town before you even got back inside.

I'd be knockin' on their doors! "Heyyyy, wanna sell that rusty ol' bike? I could give ya an even rustier, artier, yardier bike!" ~Adam

This is a great thread. I pass by several "yard art" bikes that I'm gonna have to start taking pictures of. Here are a couple art bikes that I already had on the camera.

I left a note on the door of this house asking if they'd consider selling this old JC Higgins. Never got a call.




This Roadmaster Skyrider is hanging in the local Cracker Barrel restaurant.

There is a old bicycle in every cracker rest. all over the country. from old pre war bikes to stingrays. Tony

Oh yeah, don't get me started on Cracker Barrel! Since we moved 340 miles, from eastern Va., to western NC, we have visited most of the CB's between here and there! Coolest bikes I've seen were a Monark Super Deluxe, and a Schwinn B6. Lamest was a 70's beige Murray Western Flyer... ~Adam

cool, looks like that last one could ride away

[TheFlyingDingo]

theres a house around me with a good 20 bikes against a bunch of trees in their yard.

Im writing them a letter

[Fastback Maniac]

I just frown when I see bikes used as lawn ornaments. And I have seen some nice frames that should be restored to their glory.
