This archway entrance to a pedestrian bridge is made of old bicycles.
It is located in a Park in the Hill Avenue lot on the corner of Volunteer Landing Lane and E. Hill Street. CLICK HERE to view the Roadside America post concerning this piece (here this information was gathered.
A sign immodestly calls it "Knoxville's Famous Bike Arch" and credits its creation to local artist Kelly Brown in 2012. This is public artwork, an arch to a pedestrian path that is made of dozens of old bikes and bike parts. The comments on the website (Roadside America) claims that this art is "less colorful now then when it was new in 2012."Photo Credit: Alex Flinn, 4-21-2021
This photo was taken April 21, 2021 of "Knoxville's Famous Bike Arch".
Art is personal. I like the recycled bottle sculpture on many different levels, including how it evoked some strong reactions by others (good art will do that).
