YARD ART in their natural state

[Hooch]

the bike I had in my flowerbed had been ran over and it bent the crank way back when it was new and it had set out behind a barn for all those years. everything was froze up on it but it was totally original down to the cables so thats why it looked great as yard art because it actually had became yard art. around here rusty cruisers sell for more money at auction than nice bikes because somebody always wants them for a flower bed.

Here is some of my Yard art!

Is bicycle yard art pretty common in the mid west? I live in California, and I don't think I've ever seen anything like that. Although, knowing the neighborhoods around here, it's probably against the CC&Rs, and anyone who tried it would probably get a call from their HOA... :roll:

I'm heading to Indiana for a few days next week; I might have to take a drive around the neighborhood and keep my eyes open for yard art, or yard sales. Still need to find a nice brown leather saddle.

where at in Indiana are you going??

I'm gonna be in Merrillville (just south of Gary) for 5 days. Know of any bike events going on in the area?

In base housing, we aren't allowed to leave bikes outside. So I had to make it more "art" with plants. I need to get a piece of rusty chain instead of the red cable to make it right.

I zoomed in on that bike, that's the whole bike there, the frame was made that way. The carrier attaches to a bracket on the fender, I've never seen a bike like that.

Took this the other day in my town.

These are from a few years ago along a rail-to-trail in Iowa.

I would definitely try to buy this if it was around here. :mrgreen: It's just begging.
