OnStreet: Crochet Bycicle in Brooklyn NYC

















We go places and see lots of cool stuff, but this bike really made my day. When we walked down the Brooklyn bridge, we spotted the bike that instantly beated all carefully decorated Dutch bikes we know so well. An amazing piece of crochet craziness! This bike had a colorful and snug attire that blew our minds. Turns out the bike is a piece by Olek, a Brooklyn-based crochet artist who works in colorful crochet, creating arresting moments of pop colors in the urban landscape. He even created a setting in which everything is crochet around (for more pictures/ info check out his website: http://www.agataolek.com/home.html)..

Wouldn't it be great to have a bodysuit like this?
