The Department of Transportation says the artistic installations by the Talking Heads singer are meant to spark interest in bicycling.
Each rack reflects its location. A guitar-shaped rack named Hipster has been placed in Brooklyn's Williamsburg neighborhood. A rack that looks like a dollar sign is in the Wall Street area.
Byrne was one of the founders of the music group Talking Heads in the 1970s. He's been publishing and exhibiting his artworks over
the last decade.
