Artist Patrick Truby was one of the designers of a unique bike rack that was recently installed in downtown Washington, DC to promote alternative and healthy transportation. Titled "Exploration", the work is located at 17th and M St NW, outside of the the National Geographic Museum. The rack features stylized mountains, water, the sun and the moon. Unveiling the new fixture was Golden Triangle BID Executive Director Susan Norton, National Geographic Museum Director Susan Norton, Brookfield Properties Senior Vice President Greg Moyer and co-designer, National Geographic Museum Art Director, Alan Parente.
Patrick's mixed media glass sculpture is one of the works at Gallery 555's show of sculptural work by students of the Washington Glass School, currently on exhibit thru June 30, 2011.

Congratulations Patrick & Alan!
Oh by the way - in case anyone wonders about how secure a "cool bike rack design" is - 
each rack has (4) 6” anchor bolts in the concrete and has one tamper-proof bolt. Someone who passes the rack on the way to work each morning says that it has been filled everyday.
