Two months ago a new addition was added to the Boulder aesthetic: The Pearl Street Mall Stationary Bike.
After Ironman Boulder, the Pearl Street Mall stationary bike was found chained to a rack in the middle of the square. The lonely bike sat there for two months awaiting a rider. On Tuesday, the Pearl Street Mall stationary bike finally got taken for a ride, by the Boulder police. The boys in blue cut the cable that locked the stationary bike to the bike rack, and carried it away. Most people of Boulder thought Pearl Street Mall stationary bike was an exhibit appealing to exercise, and this was a blatant exorcism of that display. The bike was first spotted outside of the Boulder Main Public Library, but was soon moved to its known place on 11th and Pearl around the Ironman Boulder triathlon. The Pearl Street Mall stationary bike blew up on Twitter thanks to a sign that was hung around the time of the triathlon. “Ironman participants and anyone else: C’mon people! Let’s see if we can do 112 miles by Sunday night,” the sign read. “Work it! (Heart) Richard Simmons. Post and Share! #SitSpinPearl #WorkItBoulder #WorthlessNWeakBOCO #KeepBoulderWeird.”
