In honor of Bike to Work Day 2013, which is this Friday, May 17th, here are some of my favourite artistic bike rack from around Washington, D.C.

“Duck, Duck, Bike!” at 1776 G Street was inspired by the mama duck and her ducklings that nest in the National Geographic courtyard each spring. |

“”(Re) Cycle” at 1901 Pennsylvania Avenue NW provides parking for up to 10 bikes and is made out of used parking meter heads. It was designed by local firm Design Army. |
Artistic bike racks represent only a portion of the thousands of bike racks that can be found in the District, but they add a welcome splash of colour to the city and I think they’re really fun! What do you think? Should the District encourage the installation of more of these creative and original bike racks or should it stick to the plain ones?
