As more people take up cycling as a hobby or even trade in their cars for a two-wheeled commute, the influence of bicycles is expanding beyond transportation and recreation. Bike motifs are showing up in home décor and clothing, and people are incorporating bikes in gardens and displays. Here are just a few bike-centric scenes we’ve spotted everywhere, from the 2018 California Spring Trials to IGCs to local shopping centers.
