One of my main overarching themes on this blog has been to find bicycle-related art, some in the form of bike racks. One of my self-imposed challenges is to get pictures of these racks without any bikes actually attached to them. It's a difficult task at times, but the dead of Winter helps out on occasion.
For example, this bike rack that sits just a half block away from my office is usually loaded with bikes on an average day. With many fewer cyclists willing to brave the blistering cold temperatures, it's a rare occurrence to see it sitting bare:
This was part of the Bicycle Coalition's series of artistic bike racks installed in 2014:

I'm also writing this on MLK Jr. Day, which is a holiday for some. That could be a contributing factor to the emptiness.
