Monday Murals: Painted ladies & their recycled bicycles


I posted this wonderful mural when it was first done back in the autumn of 2011- arty old town. The colourful bicycles were added later. It'll be familiar to most Mancunians but any out-of-towners who watched the final of The Young Apprentice last month will also have seen it flash by.

 All a vast improvement from how it used to look, see Dirty old town.

    This is a fantastic mural. I love the bikes and their fluorescent colours.

    Great mural and I think the added bikes are also useful for the bike parking problem in the netherlands.

    It's sort of mysterious. And I definitely like the addition of the colorful bicycles.

    Fascinating - I didn't watch the final of the Young Apprentice - must see if I can catch a repeat.

    She is really a beauty, but I am truly intrigued by the bicycles, I see one on the front of the building too, what a great installation

    Talk about a portrait of contemporary idealized beauty. Big eyes, plump lips, Brigitte Bardot hair. The green skin not so much. What makes this piece extraordinary to me is the addition of the bicycles. I'm sure this piece stops people in their tracks. Thanks for contributing to Monday Mural.
