Interesting stop...

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.

Happened upon this leaving Custer and had to stop. As an avid bicyclist, I love a good bike sculpture.

The sculpture is located near a popular hiking trail. Don't forget to contribute to the donation box on the fence post.
