Collage artist Catherine Reinke takes old vintage bikes,
many found in junk yards and re purposes them into fun,
funky fantasy. Many of her bikes are the classic shwinn or Huffy.
When Reinke was in Key West Florida, this concept was not new
to the local "conchs". They have been taking their bikes and
making them individual by painting them because of the high
rate of bike theft was such a problem. This was reported to
Reinke by a reliable source.
It is easy to spot a crazy colored painted bike as your own, Reinke
however, took it one step farther by applying glitter, jewels, papers,
trim and fur seats.
There is nothing on this earth better than riding one of
these Funky bikes in the warm Florida sunshine, palm trees sighing
freedom.
