There's a small park with a skeletal metal dinosaur riding a bike. It's just a short walk from the big dino at the circle and the Mike the Headless Chicken sculpture. This stretch of a few blocks has cool plaques describing historical building facades, and a few funky benches made out of unusual objects such as a car front and phone booth.

While stopping to see another listed dinosaur and grab a coffee at the headless chicken statue, I noticed this prehistoric pedaler. Locals described another dino statue which spits on you when you stand beneath it. Also nearby and worth a look, a whimsically inappropriate handcuff-shaped bike rack.
