RiverPlace Development Project initiated this cooperative project to create a series of one-of-a-kind bike racks to decorate waterway bike trail systems. “RiverPlace believes in the creation of site-specific artwork to inspire civic pride and celebrate community identity.” said John Weidenhammer, RiverPlace President, “As part of that ideal we have been working with members of the regional business, educational and nonprofit community.” West Reading Elm Street program coordinated the project and kept it moving forward to completion.

It was fabricated by Berks Career & Technology Center’s wielding class instructed by Dale Roberts and his students. The Carbon steel pipe material was donated by Advanced Industrial Piping and it was color coated with material donated by Akzo Nobel Powder Coatings. It was installed by West Reading Borough Public Works Department. The
