The Loop Installs 14 New, Whimsical Bicycle Racks

 

Joe Edwards, owner of Blueberry Hill, headed the Delmar Loop committee that helped design and install 14 new colorful bicycle racks.  Engraphix, a local St. Louis firm, fabricated and installed the painted steel stands.  Edwards stated “With the creation of new bicycle and pedestrian paths by Great Rivers Greenway, more people are riding their bikes to The Loop.  It just made good sense to provide additional racks and have them be colorful and artistically fun.  They add a whimsical “Loopish” touch to the area.  It’s like having 14 new street sculptures!” (Photos available upon request.)
