Helsinki Rock City, part 2

In our previous post about Helsinki we wrote about Baana/Banan (The Track), which we think is a great initiative. Another great initiative in Helsinki are bicycle stands. Are these bicycle stands designed or inspired by David Byrne? (Check out his "The Jersey" stand, in his book "Bicycle Diaries".) Whether or not, they are really cool. And not only do they look great, the design makes them easy to spot and in a really simple way they show how much less space parked bicycles need, compared to parked cars.

We would love to see these in our city too!
