I attended the opening reception of this art show on March 9, 2012. I was seriously impressed with the quantity and quality of the bicycle art exhibited. 246 pieces of original art is tastefully displayed. 126 artists from 22 States contributed to the Show. Several of the artists were in attendance; they were friendly and talkative. It is well worth the time to see this exhibit. The outside of the huge building has some lovely bicycle murals and sculptures. All of the art on display was identified with a small card giving the name of the artist and the price (if it was available for sale). This image is of the poster (which is 11x17 inches) advertising the Show. See more printed material about the Show and some of my pictures of the art on display in the picture gallery.

A postcard size advertising card for Robert D. Jones Photography, a local Boulder professional commercial photographer. The reverse side of the card shows his contact information; see the next picture. This picture appears to have been taken in the repair department of Vecchio's Bicicletteria, a well known local bike shops specializing in sales and repairs of classic and vintage racing bikes. Is that two bottles of scotch or wine I see on the shelf above the well organized work bench? I'll check it out the next time I visit this very unique bike shop.
