Part of the 35 Collection'designed by Frog Design for Landscape Forms'the Loop bicycle rack is a cast-aluminum ring composed of 97% recycled content, finished with a proprietary powder coat, and defined by shifting curves that give it sculptural appeal. Each 35' wide unit can accommodate two bikes.
