  Well something happened. They were supposed to announce the winner two weeks ago. Maybe Bloomberg cut the program?

  as both a NY'er and avid bike rider..temporarily relocated to Los Angeles, where I'm still an avid bike rider..I gotta say them n"Y" racks is cool. With a big fat chain and lock I got quite good in using regular poles, light poles and railings to lock mine up, but it was always a hassle when I was with a less regular bike person, who only had a small u lock and some other short plastic lock, trying to attach her bike to the same pole with great difficulty and it taking like forever. Your design takes care of that! And it is iconic!

  in terms of design + practicality + nyc "feel", you have to go with the first one - lang and dobbs. i think millerruggiero does a great job as well, but too much "bike rack," not enough design and feel. as a biker in nyc, i feel these need to be recognized at first or second glance as a bike rack. if not, they're impractical pieces of street art.

  I really love the Y stand design, and it's multiple locking options. and the fact that the i "heart" nY theme is in the design is great.
  I think it's awesome that so much thought is being put into designing more bike racks so more people can lock up their bikes, and prevent bike theft, and maybe make NY a little greener at the same time!

  I had a look at the rest of the designs, some are interesting but not very practical. Some of them are designs that are already used, not very innovative.

  Isn't it wild that some of these designs don't indicate more then one bike using the rack. On snowboard hills they have been using vertical storage to accompany large quantities of snowboards for years. It would have been refreshing to see some designs that use that idea and many more : sides of buildings, pulleys, sculpture, humor, reuse... What if it was just an old bike screwed to the ground....
