City of lights...and bike rack

Ah yes. As far as landmarks go, you really can't get more iconic than the Eiffel Tower, now, can you?

Probably not.

But when you throw in some super awesome bike rack - it gets sooo much better, doesn't it?

I am a little surprised at the French. Don't you think they would have come up with something a little more chic and less proletarian to corral the masses?

Or do you think it's because only the ugly Americans go to these tourist traps that they find bike rack the ideal way to trap and corral us?

Either way - this shows that bike rack is truly universal.

Second photo: bike rack at the Louvre. Really, you can't get more approval than that - I mean, I think bike rack is art. (Clearly, I have a damn blog about bike rack.) Can't more arty than at the Louvre, non?

Bike rack doing it's thing in the most fashionable city in the world: at least TWO bicycles out of four.
