Thanks people for your positive comments about that optical illusion video I posted yesterday! I’ll make sure to post more soon! In the mean time I found this nice bicycle illusion. It’s an installation, abstract in it’s nature. Wanna know what is so strange about it (except that it’s sculpture made from iron bars)? Well, you should jump inside this article (if you are on main page), and you will notice that the bicycle is just a mere illusion. It can be seen like this only from two proper angles, where all the little sculptures align perfectly to form our yellow bike. Just like transformers :) Have a great day, I won’t be around here today anymore, cause I have great deal of studying to make for my university exam. Enjoy!

you wont be around? as in ur leaving and not comming back? or as in you are taking time out to study for days/weeks/months?
good luck with exam btw
No wonder that guy is looking at it funny. Pretty cool. You’ve got to wonder how they thought of that.
it is a nice effect, but I doubt it’s accidental. my guess is that the railings are there for…wait for it…locking your bike to it!
clever.
Nice pics!
Does anyone know where that is?
Also, good luck in your exam Vurdlak!!!
Hurry back!
Why on earth would you think that this is “accidental”?
Well Good luck with the Exam mate. I hope to see more interesting Illusions upon your return. Love the site keep up the good work.

it is really nice. Where is it? Mean city…Good luck in your exam.
I don’t think it’s an “accidental” bike. Looks more like an “intentional” bike. This is the only way we can consider this ugly installation meaningful.
I like this one alot,it’s really clever,but surely the artist intended it to look like a bike from certain angels,and it’s not an accident?
wow, that’s a really kl illusion! very clever!!
as T said, good luck with the exam. hope u do well!!
I dont get it. Help!
Ah,ah,ah! U’r so funny…
Absolutely spliffing old chap. I can’t really believe its real. But why in Gods name would someone want to have one of those in the middle of a town. I like it very much and am contemplating getting one for me for my garden. Do you have any tips on what it should be of?
Much love
Fred
Pics have been taken in Milan, in Italy,haven’t they? My home is near this sculpture, in Via Padova :)
what a waste of space
Obviously it is a bike rack to lock up your bike, and obviously it is intentional, and obviously it is cool.
good luck with yur exam, i love this site.
The way the yellow bars are arranged makes it almost definitely intentional
Ha, that’s a great illusion. I love it when artists start messing around with your mind.
I was wanting to find out who the artist it, could you let me know?
haha, halarious
Nice!! ;-)
Perfect Dimensions they maintained ..!
Was this intentional? If not, well this is FANTASTIC!
thats cool but if u lived there every day and you sore it from every angle like it shows you it wopuld kind of look weird if u see it every day but that was aswome
cool illousion i like the way u put the shape form different prespective
This not accidental, the artist planned it. Cool, nonetheless.
Must look really weird when there are a bunch of bikes locked up to it. It’s where M.C. Escher parks his bike.
Accidental would been cool. But it’s not, it was meant to be this way, So kind of boring. Except for the fact that you thought it was accidental I guess.
