Someone Planted a Bicycle Garden in Queens!


Note: this has since been removed.

I was driving along Vernon Blvd in Queens when I spotted something you don’t usually see under the 59th Street Bridge…

Very inventive stuff – check out this sunflower…

The group responsible for this “Urban Garden” is the Recycle-A-Bicycle program, with help from a grant by the NY DOT. The Recycle-A-Bicycle program seems to have its hand in all sorts of New York programs, from salvaging old bikes to promoting bike use in the city.

A small collection of flowers…

Good use of bike sprockets…

  1. What a great find!

    I used to live in Brooklyn near where the BQE connects with Prospect highway and the Brooklyn Battery. For a split second, I thought this was an art space on Columbia street.

    NYC is great for these little hidden art pieces made of dirty NY life.

    Thanks for this!

  2. Well, I just used to live in Brooklyn near where the BQE connects with Prospect highway and the Brooklyn Battery, Thanks for the share.
