I was going to write ‘Corporation Street, Manchester’ on this somewhere but I forgot, which I take as a sign it wasn’t essential. These are the bike stands just down from the ones outside M&S, on the other side of the street, near Next.
I love it! I think that every time I pass the strange skeletal leftovers of the only thing that was locked to the post. Like some tiny bike scavengers have been at the come the night. I am just going to check on my bike!
Not to be a dick but it seems likely to me that those aren’t locks leftover from stolen bikes–they’re locks that bike commuters leave there permanently so that they don’t have to lug around a lock every day. If you lock your bike to the same stand every day it’s sensible to just leave the lock there. Plus it would be nearly impossible to steal a bike and leave the untampered lock without causing serious damage to the bike.
Again, apologies for the obnoxious note. It’s a really beautiful drawing. I quite like the ink wash.

so beautiful, it’s like visual poetry. print?

A print? Possibly. I’ve been thinking of doing a postcard set of my favourite 6 for a while now but haven’t got around to it yet. Maybe soon though.
