I was recently on I-90 Westbound on my way cross-country, and I was looking out for this as I had seen it on RoadsideAmerica.com Just as we were approaching exit 170, there they were! Got a great shot of them. Unfortunately, you can not take a picture with them, as they are in the middle of the field, with no roads to get to it. To take a good picture, get in the right lane and slow down to about 60 mph before the exit. Make sure you have someone in the passenger seat taking the picture! Don't try to do it while driving!

This is more like hundreds of bikes, and appears to be an ongoing project. Bike carcasses and wire are lying near the sculpture while other skeletons, complete with streamers, flicker in the sun. There is a small path you can take through the sculpture.

I noticed this sole Brontosaurus about eight years ago, run-down and looking his age (built during the Depression, probably by the same folks who erected Dinosaur Park in Rapid City). He had crumbling holes showing his re-bar skeleton, and was covered in graffiti. This summer I went by him again and was pleased to find he's been restored, complete with bicycle reflectors for eyes and mouth (there's even a plaque commemorating the makeover). I'm still not sure why he's there in the first place.
