Talking Heads - Byrne Builds Bike Racks For New Yorkers

TALKING HEADS rocker DAVID BYRNE is helping New Yorkers foot pedal around the Big Apple, by designing a reach of arty bicycle racks.

The nine installations have been places in various locations around the boroughs of Manhattan and Brooklyn.

The shapes include a man, a dog, a mugful, a guitar and a dollar sign.

New York occupier Byrne came up with the idea to help promote a Department of Transportation competition to design indoor and outdoor bike racks.

Byrne's creations will be on show for a year, before being sold as fine art pieces.
