Talking Head David Byrne designed some awesome bike racks for the NYC Department of Transportation. Amazingly, the DOT swiftly gave him the green light to turn his sketches into reality.
Gothamist has a great photo gallery of all of the racks installed so far.
We’ve just learned that six US activists have been detained in China. Five Americans were detained for displaying the above banner (using 500 LED “Throwies”.) Video of the action:

The Associated Press has the story.
