It is only a matter of time before someone brings out a guide to bike racks in London. Maybe it’ll be a photographic anthology.
This is one of my favourites.
Bike Racks
Notice the letters. They spell out the name of the borough. You’ll probably find it easier to read with this one.

Or from another angle.

If you still can’t see it, here’s a clue; they are just down the road from the Old Vic theatre.

Unintentional echoes of the Olympic rings…..? 😀

I don’t think so. They have been there quite a while, but I have only just got around to photographing them.
Oh I wasn’t serious…..just thought it was a nice “coincidence! 😀

Now why can’t they make more ‘street furniture’ as imaginative as that? Look forward to more! 🙂
There is some lovely detail in the nearby railings too. Next time I am along there with a camera I’ll see what I can do. 🙂
hahahaha! I had already enlarged that first pic because I thought I detected letters in the metal-work. and THEN I saw the next bits of text! thanks for the brain-game! >:-D
PS. Um, in case you haven’t noticed, I think you’ve got that book written and illustrated with photos. >:-D
More bikes than racks in my book, Laurel. But if you are offering to be my editor…
well, I used to be a pretty darned good one! let me know! >:-D
do I remember that we were going to start a business recycling colorful socks into cat toys?!
Let me know your rates. 🙂 I have been hoarding old and colourful socks for that sideline…
I’ve been hoarding ’em too, but I didn’t remember why until I wrote that editor comment. Can’t think what possibly could be the connection!
🙂
Love it, Isobel 😀
Such a simple and effective idea. Not sure how good they are to chain bikes to tho’.
They sure are spiffy and bright Isobel! Love the little bike icon/logo below the circle. Love to see what you see with your eye and the click of your camera… 🙂
Cool! I figured it out! I’m so proud of myself! Thank you! I needed that little burst of self-esteem. (What my life has become . . . .)
ah, yes, brain fog! but enjoy the clearing! Laurel! >:-D
You’re welcome 🙂
Elegant aren’t they? but Lambeth I’d expect it!
You know, i have not seen them elsewhere in Lambeth. I should look.
Maybe you should do the guide Isobel ????????????
(told you so!)
Wouldn’t that be fun! Who would publish I wonder.
