Bike Racks

Beginning in 2001, the Louisville Downtown Management District commissioned local artists to create one-of-a-kind bike rack sculptures or benches to be placed in the public right-of-way in various locations throughout Downtown Louisville.

In addition to serving as functioning bike racks or benches, they provide 34 pieces of original art for the enjoyment of the general public, parking for bikers and enhancement of the Downtown streetscape experience.

National Model

The largest program of its kind in the nation, LDMD’s Bike Rack Sculptures have been emulated in several cities across the country and featured in numerous national publications including The New York Times, Boston Globe and USA Today.

Photographs and a map of all 34 bike rack sculptures and benches are shown below.
