If you come across an overweight drunk guy in the gutter call city hall, it might be the mayor.

No... please don't bother. Nobody wants him.

Still curious if any forum members have seen it in person?

Come anyway, but the exhibit is over and has been disassembled.

I spent some time looking at it person, although I haven't read much
about the artist or his intentions with the sculpture. Persoanlly,
I was conflicted about it, since it isn't really bicycles, it's a sculpture
of many identical "bicycle-like" pre manufactured metal objects.
It would have been much more interesting to me if it was made from
real bicycles. The effect is neat, as the photos capture, it looks
like the whole thing is moving as the single viewing point of the
observer creates a multiplying visual effect, sort of like an endless image
of a mirror in a mirror.
