Frostburg, MD, commissioned two new sculptures from artist Scott Cawood. They were unveiled at Frostburg Sculpture Garden, near the Great Allegheny Passage trail, on Oct. 10, 2014. Cawood titled them “Climb” and “Glide.” Each sculpture depicts a large human head, made out of metal and supported by a bent metal beam. The “hair” and ears are created out of bike wheels, front forks, handlebars and rear cassettes.
Hagerstown Magazine interviewed him earlier in the year about his work and about these two sculptures in particular:

Cawood posted a photo gallery of the unveiling ceremony, which was attended by the local Congressman, a Maryland state representative and local officials, plus the Maryland State Arts Council. The gallery also includes photos of another sculpture, which was a collaboration between Cawood and Dustin Davis in 2011. That piece is titled “Up and Over.” It’s made of a tall metal column and a metal cyclist riding vertically up one side.

Cyclists and hikers making the long trip from the C&O Trail to the Great Allegheny Passage Trail will pass by these bike-related sculptures. Maybe a DC-area jurisdiction could commission some pieces from Cawood, to tie together the sections of the C&O/GAP trail network with the bike theme.
