The city rack is the standard upside down U rack which normally holds 2 bikes - one on each side.

The drawing shows a bike locked up to the rack with a U-Lock through the front wheel, around the fork, and through the hole in the top of the rack (now enlarged to a slot).

A more accurate space comparison would be with 2 U racks side by side (parallel) and spaced so that each can accommodate at least 2 bikes. I still think the 2 inverted U's would be a little more space efficient, but this would be a fairly equitable comparison for square footage consumed to park 4 bikes. The U's would be easier to lock to though, offering more spots where a lock can be attached for bikes of various sizes and shapes. Regardless of where the slot is positioned on the O racks, the locking options are limited.<br><br>Where in Ballard will this rack be installed (or is there going to be more than one?), where is there enough sidewalk space to park 4 bikes side by side without obstructing pedestrian traffic? Nowhere on Ballard Ave that I can think of has this much space - the sidewalks are very narrow. The best solution on Ballard Ave for bike parking would be 2 or 3 or 4 inverted U racks per block, one at a time, parallel to the curb, like the ones in front of Second Ascent. Or better yet, street parking. There are certainly enough bikes around Ballard to justify this.<br><br>Another question I have is how will the racks be secured to the sidewalk? Racks that are bolted down are not secure. I know at least one person in Seattle whose bike was stolen while locked to a rack that was bolted to the sidewalk - the rack was pried out of the ground and the whole thing, bikes still attached, thrown into the back of a pickup. It took less than a minute. The inverted U's can be embedded in concrete (though they aren't always). This adds installation expense, but otherwise the city is inviting people to lock their bikes to a rack that is not secure.<br><br>Another design flaw is that this rack does not support the bike nearly as well as the inverted U racks. Many bikes have no kickstands. Bikes can be leaned against the U racks and the bikes will remain upright. With these donuts it looks very likely that the bikes will be falling over since there is little of the rack in contact with the bike frame. <br><br>I appreciate your point about local crafts people having a fun project and donating their time and skills. I just see bike rack design as a practical matter since I'm always looking for a place to lock my bike. Other considerations such as good looks and providing workers the opportunity to make a community contribution should be secondary to making sure the main purpose is addressed.

This design gives only one place where a u-lock can be passed through the rack, making it impossible to lock both the tire and the frame. It\'s an inefficient use of space, as only one bike can be locked to each rack. And as mentioned, this must be enormously more expensive than a simpler but more functional bike rack. 4 inverted U\'s would take up the same space, double the number of bikes that could be parked, allow the bikes to be locked more securely, be much more cost effective, and would look just fine.<br><br>I\'m in favor of public art, but if it tries to be functional, and fails, then it\'s worse than not having it. <br><br>What is wrong with functionality in design Ballard?! The metal benches outside the library are awful for sitting. The curved sidewalk beside the new park at 17th and 63rd is cute, but the curvy concrete juts unnecessarily into the play space, and is annoying to deal with as a pedestrian. A design isn\'t necessarily a good one just because it\'s different.</div>\

It seems the only place where the rack is narrow enough for a u-lock to fit around its the slot cut up top.  However, most people (at least those who don\'t want anything stolen off their bike) choose the pass the u-lock through both the frame and either the front or rear wheel, then through the rack.  If a wheel is left unlocked, it is very easy for them to be stolen, especially with the prevalence of quick-release skewers.<br><br>This rack appears to only be easily compatible with cable locks, which can be cut in seconds.<br><br>That\'s my main concern.

The drawing shows a bike locked up to the rack with a U-Lock through the front wheel, around the fork, and through the hole in the top of the rack (now enlarged to a slot). Anyone who has ever locked up a bike would know that this won\'t work because all a thief has to do is flip the quick release and pull the fork up and out, and off they go leaving the front wheel still locked to the rack.<br><br>In order for this to work the "O\'s" would have to be spaced far enough apart so that you could get the whole bike between them, pedals and all, so that someone could lock their bike in the classic manner where you remove the front wheel and put the lock through the front wheel, and rear wheel, around the seat stays, and through the rack. To make this possible I would recommend putting a "lock slot" on the front *and* back of the "O" near the midpoint so that riders could lock a bike to both sides of it facing opposite directions. I am afraid that if you spaced the "O\'s" far enough apart to fit two bikes though, it would ruin the designer\'s proportions shown in the sketch.<br><br>Also, as I mentioned before, the cost of Stainless Steel will make this design outrageously expensive, I would consider pricing the materials before going too far.<br><br>That\'s my $.02, BTW I wish I heard about this contest before it was over as I\'m totally geeky about this kind of thing.</div>\

	 <div id="dsq-comment-message-9152903" class="dsq-comment-message">Thank you everyone for your comments both positive and constructive.  I will try to address some of them.  <br><br>It looks like there is a lot of concern about how you will lock your bike to the rack.  The design is to pass a U-Lock through the curved slot and then through both the frame and the front tire of a typical bicycle.  As you can see the round forms can be adjusted before welding is complete to allow that slot to be in the correct position for locking.  In the picture it may look a little high.  We will test this out before we build the rack.<br><br>Another concern is the replacement of a city rack with this one.  The city rack is the standard upside down U rack which normally holds 2 bikes - one on each side.  This rack will hold 4 bikes - one per ring and so we should be increasing the bike parking in this space.    Just for the record, I think the sunday marked could use some additional temporary racks as well.  <br><br>Cost:<br>As much as I would like to make these out of solid stainless, our budget does not allow for that so these will be welded sheet stainless with a filled core.  This is much more cost effective.  Tagging is allways a problem but we will test cleaning methods for this design.   This project is under a matching grant which means we get to buy materials but all the labor is donated.  <br><br>Please consider that local craftsmen and women, the same people that build the fishing fleet, make parts for airliners, work metal and glass into sculpture, your neighbors, are donating their valuable time to produce these pieces, and we might be thankful that they can see the value in producing something of whimsy in a time of stress.   <br><br>Like all design contests, we cannot please all the people but these are the designs that were chosen and we will attempt to bring them to their full potential both artistically and functionally.</div>\

	 <div id="dsq-comment-message-9155955" class="dsq-comment-message">This rack will take up much more space than a single inverted U rack. A more accurate space comparison would be with 2 U racks side by side (parallel) and spaced so that each can accommodate at least 2 bikes. I still think the 2 inverted U\'s would be a little more space efficient, but this would be a fairly equitable comparison for square footage consumed to park 4 bikes. The U\'s would be easier to lock to though, offering more spots where a lock can be attached for bikes of various sizes and shapes. Regardless of where the slot is positioned on the O racks, the locking options are limited.<br><br>Where in Ballard will this rack be installed (or is there going to be more than one?), where is there enough sidewalk space to park 4 bikes side by side without obstructing pedestrian traffic? Nowhere on Ballard Ave that I can think of has this much space - the sidewalks are very narrow. The best solution on Ballard Ave for bike parking would be 2 or 3 or 4 inverted U racks per block, one at a time, parallel to the curb, like the ones in front of Second Ascent. Or better yet, street parking. There are certainly enough bikes around Ballard to justify this.<br><br>Another question I have is how will the racks be secured to the sidewalk? Racks that are bolted down are not secure. I know at least one person in Seattle whose bike was stolen while locked to a rack that was bolted to the sidewalk - the rack was pried out of the ground and the whole thing, bikes still attached, thrown into the back of a pickup. It took less than a minute. The inverted U\'s can be embedded in concrete (though they aren\'t always). This adds installation expense, but otherwise the city is inviting people to lock their bikes to a rack that is not secure.<br><br>Another design flaw is that this rack does not support the bike nearly as well as the inverted U racks. Many bikes have no kickstands. Bikes can be leaned against the U racks and the bikes will remain upright. With these donuts it looks very likely that the bikes will be falling over since there is little of the rack in contact with the bike frame. <br><br>I appreciate your point about local crafts people having a fun project and donating their time and skills. I just see bike rack design as a practical matter since I\'m always looking for a place to lock my bike. Other considerations such as good looks and providing workers the opportunity to make a community contribution should be secondary to making sure the main purpose is addressed. It\'s true, can\'t please everyone. But this is a bike rack, and if it\'s taking up valuable space set aside for locking bikes, it needs to be at least as functional as the usual solutions. This design doesn\'t come close.</div>\

To this day, a person has no safe way to bike from Cupcake Royale to Golden Gardens. (I\'m fine as an experienced cyclist, but for a non-biker there are some very sketchy spots). We need bike arterials, street parking spaces converted to bike parking, and folding pocket maps showing how to get around. Ballard is one of the flattest parts of Seattle and the hills we have are graded. There is no reason on the planet we can\'t have Portland-esque biking infrastructure.<br><br>A bike rack design contest is a great thing to do, but I just feel there are such larger goals that need immediate attention that this is almost a red herring. The technology to build effective, attractive bike locks is here already. We don\'t need to reinvent the wheel -- we do need to apply well-known effective techniques to make this place better to bike around.<br><br>And lastly, sustainability folks need to get their head around FINANCE. If you need a grant to do something, it\'s not sustainable. Converting street parking for cars into bike parking would be cheap. Choosing non-busy streets to turn into bike arterials with yield signs is cheap. Things need to be cost-effective and sensible. <br><br>Oh yeah, and making a bike rack as an art installation also casts bicycle transportation as something "other" and non-practical which is the opposite direction we need to go. Nobody is making car parking spaces artsy. No, car parking needs to just plain work and be cheap because that\'s how people get around. Bikes are naturally cheap and practical.
