That's where my Rim Went!!



This fellow has so much fun with his yard. He's yard is full of bikes with flowers growing out of them and then this wall on this alley garage. Super functional and Green.

I saw it earlier in the season and it was just the wheels. This creeping plant came up quickly and now you can barely tell that these are old bike rims beneath all the green.

I did not count but I would guess there are maybe 50 rims. They all are straight too. Most are the front rim of a bike which is the easiest to take off a locked bike. Rarely do people lock their front rims. This guys got a racket for his creeping plant. I am locking my front rim now!

Seriously. He probably got them donated or collected abandoned bikes in his alley. I may steal his idea but I won't steal the rims like him. I won't use straight rims. I want the beat up torn and tweaked, just straight bent rims. I want a painful mess of spokes covered by a creeping jasmine vine. I can smell it now.
