BELTLINE Bike Rack
BIKE RACK DESIGN
5 St & 11 Ave S.W., Calgary, AB
Project Bike Racks
HAWK is a part of Project Bike Racks, a collective of designers working to develop interesting streetscapes through the use of functional public art. We've helped design a number of bike racks in Calgary's Beltline, including this nine-piece rack on 11 Ave SW. We’re proud to be in the Beltline, so we wrote it out in big yellow letters.
Approach
Community + Capacity
We designed this rack to accommodate more bikes than the old racks would allow, while at the same time celebrating the Beltline as a standout Calgary community.
Hard to miss
The marquee lettering is playful but functional, creating countless ways to lock up. We partnered with local fabricator EZ Weld and Clarke Studio on this design.
What People are Saying
“These @betterbikeracks are the best pro bike pro street art pieces pretty much since Peace Bridge was open. So it was about time! Thank you.”
“We got some new functional art in downtown Calgary! A vivid yellow bike rack spelling out the community’s name! I even got to lock up to my own letter!! And, I love running into friends by bike.”
