Good Design: copper bikes

via van heesch design

J and I just bought cruisers a few days back (mine is a blue Electra and I am in love with it and his has flames which makes me laugh every time I look at it) and ever since then I've been checking out bikes. When this one came across my screen, I knew I needed to share it- even if it's not the most practical (sure the patina it forms would be beautiful, but pretty sure my jeans would get ruined.) The thing is though, it takes something that is pretty ordinary (a bike) and elevates it to something incredibly beautiful (a copper sculpture) and to me that's a pretty incredible thing to do.
