I ran across this sweet new form of bike rack yesterday in Palo Alto.

I really, really like the concept – not because it’s that much better from a utility standpoint (although that half-roof is a nice touch). It’s awesome because it takes the bicycle from something pushed to the side and in the way, to something that is the center of attention – on display, worthy of celebration. The mere presence of this rack is one big advertisement: “ride your bike!”
