Art / ??!! Have You Seen This Bike Covered in Mosaic Tiles Locked Up Outside Neumo's?

It's been there about two weeks.

As time goes on, people keep adding to it. Now it has two feathers and three apples in its spokes.

Oh-no!
Dear oh dear,
This could mean the Bike Nazi is back in town.

Crap...

If it's an art installation, I'm about to complete the performance by stealing the fucker.

@2: I don't see any bike chain. I'd go grab your bolt cutters if I were you.

Only in Seattle. If this bike bomb was in Detroit, shizz be stolen. And fast. Kudos!

@3: You have really bad eyes if you cant see that u-lock in the first picture.

No, but a dude tried to sell me a much more prosaic looking old Raliegh ten-speed for $15 in front of Neumo's tonight.

Some dipshit hipster twat got high huffing dust-off and decided to get artistic?

@9 ftw

And to the "arteest": feel free to cut those tiles diagonal every now and then, you simp. Back in my day mosaics used to mean something!

This is absolutely beautiful, and a lot of work too.

Also known as pique assiette. Lovely.

WHY in the world would anyone have a negative comment to say about this inspirational art installation? go hate elsewhere.

<3 the feather addition

@5: Pretty sure 3 was referring to the lack of a drivetrain chain, not a chain-and-lock chain. That is to say, since it's clearly unrideable (no pedals too), it can reasonably be assumed to be an art installation rather than someone's ride, and thus 2's conditions for stealability would appear to be met. Tho maybe you were merely pointing out that bolt cutters aren't really a good choice for popping a U lock, in which case, right you are. 2 should probably go with a hacksaw.
