Bike Infrastructure Pointless Prize

[smb9600]

We all love to learn about the cool stuff being built to make our cycling lives easier. From mechanical stands, to tire ramps up stairs, to all things more substantial let’s share where these gems are located! This can include items built by jurisdictions, business, or even private residents- but must be publicly accessible.

Take a picture & document what it is, and where it’s located & post to this thread. Winner will be determined by the most unique entries.
