Beaufain St. bike racks

Beaufain St, bike racks, Beaufain St., Charleston, SC 

Best looking bike racks in Charleston. They are in front of Memminger Auditorium on Beaufain St. I was reminded that the design is the Spoleto festival logo symbol.

It's Friday kids! We made it. I worked like a mad woman all day and made it to crash in my matinee movie. I saw Allied at Citadel Mall movie theater and let the work week wash away.

I don't know how much longer this deal will last but for the time being you can get a Charleston Magazine subscription for $14.95 with the code work CYBER. It was probably a cyber Monday deal but just worked for me a few minutes ago. Thanks Charleston Magazine!

It's a great idea and long over due. The only catch is that the bike racks they picture are pretty boring. How about one like this? I took this giant bike, bike rack picture in Portland, Oregon.  Fun!

The Big, Black, Bewildering Bike Rack

Calhoun St., Charleston, S.C.

I'm just not getting it, kids. This is described as a modern bike rack built by Clemson students and a city design team. For a cost of $10,000 it houses 9 city employee's bikes and has a few open spaces for the public. It is supposed to be a museum quality piece.

I was standing there scratching my head when a gentleman came up and reminded me that the City Paper had written an article on it so here is the link. I've seen some pretty creative bike racks in my travels and we certainly need them in Charleston, but I'm not feeling the love for this one.
