Is this the official bike park? Usually at train stations there is something more than just chaining them to a railing. Anything to encourage cycling is a good idea.
I wish there was more respect for bicycles (and cyclists) in this part of the world. Interesting that the bikes on the sign are in the opposite direction to the ones on the pavement :)
There's a Japanese artist, whose name I don't remember off hand, who made his name etching abstract scenes of bicyclists. Your mural reminds me of his work. Has velolib hit Versailles yet? Thanks for contributing to this week's Monday Mural.

ReplyDeleteen plein tour de France, c'est bien vu ;)
ReplyDeleteI like the bikes that connect. The mural.
ReplyDeleteLooks like my neighborhood here in Portland! I've never seen so man bicycles in one area before except in Europe!! Have a great week, Ciel!
ReplyDeleteI like this a lot; understated, but effective. And I see a number of bikes got the message. Wish we had more bikes and less cars here!
ReplyDeleteThe real bikes are facing the opposite direction from the mural's bikes. Details, details.
ReplyDeletePerfect find.
ReplyDeleteWell, perhaps not the prettiest place in Versailles but people have to get from here to there.

ReplyDeleteBikes up--bikes down. I think they got the message.
ReplyDeleteYes the mural pf Anna Curtis does resemble Anne Frank. MB
That is very clever, I like that the row of bike are facing opposing directions.
ReplyDeleteI keep forgetting how far North you are and that the sun set so much later. Stay cool!
My ship today and your trains... love them both.
ReplyDeleteBikes are big everywhere now, but more so over your way at the moment with Le Tour going on oui!
