If you love to bicycle and love bicycle art, drop by the Bicycle Inter-Community Action & Salvage’s 15th Annual art auction, on Sunday Dec. 5, 6 to 9 p.m. at Old Market Inn, 403 N.6th Avenue (NW corner of E. 7th St).

Lots and Lots of very creative bicycle themed art (paintings, sculpture, clothing, jewelry, clocks, etc.) will be silently auctioned off. Bids end at 9 p.m. promptly. A sneak preview will be held the night before, 7 to 9 p.m., same place, with refreshments/music on both nights. Free and open to the public.

We’ve been attending this auction off & on for years, at different locales, but the art is always awesome (see photos below of two amazing examples). For other photographs of the art over the years see their online catalog over the past years (click here).
