The NYC Cityracks Design Competition, sponsored by the NYC Department of Transportation, has announced ten finalists whose new bicycle rack designs will be fabricated and installed around New York City this fall. Some designs are practical, others are sculptural, and some are ready for extreme branding. We’re just curious to see how they handle the masses of bikes at locations like Bedford and North 6th St in Williamsburg. [CityRacks]
