Face painting was all the go ...

Cycling is Art

Remember this guy?

Well, Mike Rubbo really liked this image:

This image has both movement and stillness, the rider a certain mystery, Who's he looking at? is he balanced immobile and getting encouragement for the trick from the viewer.

I'm going to use it, if I may, to go another step to graphic art on paper. It'll be part of a series of art as propaganda for the grace and beauty of bikes and end up here - http://situp-bike-art.com

... and he sent me the picture

Mike is using art as a way to bring status and cachet to stately cycling - what a lovely idea.

If anyone knows this guy, can you let him know that he is now an artwork!
