One of the advantage of a road trip is seeing unusual and unexpected "attractions" along the road. While driving from Custer to Deadwood during my road trip through South Dakota, I noticed a large pile of bikes to the left of the road in the small town of Pringle, South Dakota. I was in no hurry, so I pulled over to take a closer look.

There was a sign in front of what looked like a pile of junk that read:

"Midwest's Largest Bicycle Sculpture...And Possibly the World"

My guess is that this claim is probably true. It's the first bicycle sculpture that I've ever come across.

I started taking pictures of the sculpture and ended up staying for quite a while. I switched back and forth between a wide angle and telephoto lens in hope of capturing a variety of images. The light was constantly changing. Most of the time the lighting was very dull. At times I was shooting in a light rain. Some light broke through the clouds every so often.
