Really like the design with the half penny bikes. A little code in case you're not sure what this metal thingy is for. Nice detail.

Nice detail. I like the comparison between the old and new here.
What a beautiful design! Just goes to show that something functional does not have to be boring!
Very nice! I was struck by the trunk of the tree behind it. It looks like it was sculpted. Have a grand weekend! Cathy
