Back by popular demand for its second season w/ enhanced guidelines [emoji849]):
1. Discover any art form (loosely defined) that is freely accessible to the public while completing at least a 10 mile bike ride. Monuments and Memorials are EXCLUDED as they are a different PP by @HokieBeth. Only one art form discovery allowed per 10+mile ride. If you want to discover more art, then start a new ride. Rides less than 10 miles are not eligible.
2. Post here on this thread a picture [use Small resolution] of your art form with some portion of your bicycle in it. Include the location of the art form following examples from the Little Free Libraries (also excluded) so that others may find it, too. Public Art rides/pics should be posted daily, so as to allow all a fair chance to play. Sandbagging posts NOT allowed and will automatically disqualify you from this pointless prize.
3. Hashtag your ride #publicartfinder (not CaSe SeNsItIvE) in your Strava ride titles if you want to appear on the FS2022 #publicartfinder leaderboard https://freezingsaddles.org/pointless/hashtag/publicartfinder which I will sweep (at least monthly) for data for the official #publicartfinder scoreboard found here: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1Ob3HlhU34D4xrtbttsDIAu2knT8MOIZQ2EcAr6s5YF0/edit#gid=58255797
4. Follow me (Boomer Cycles) on Strava so that I can verify your #publicartfinder rides
Entries will be judged by some faceless cabal on totally subjective criteria that may include use of creative objects (like your bike interacting w/ an art form), composition, light, artistic flair, witty captions, great stories, # of quality submissions, and/or # likes, kudos or dislikes, and bonus points. In the event of a tie, efficacy rules: most art discoveries/least amount of miles wins.
If you played last year, go find some New2U art! Don’t game the competition by resubmitting your discoveries from last year. Honor system in effect, but there may be extra points for self-policing or calling out any offending FS veterans!
Now go Ride and Seek your art form;-!

Still in Dewey park near Lake Needwood.
The mural goes all around this structure, and I woulda gotten MUCH better light taking the pic from around the back, but alas the lighted half was fenced off. I hadda try, though, cuz it’s just gorgeous. I didn’t even get them all – I felt bad about making my friend wait for me to take pix of these 4.

I stumbled upon these last year and was blown away. It’s nice to see they’re still shiny and colorful!
Publicartfinder#2 for today (yes, in the 2nd 10 miles).
Boomer, I looked at the sculpture and thought, “WWBD?” So I laid down on the ground and got the cat and that amazing sky.
You’re welcome.

Mural on the backside of Aslin Beer where they have all their tents and outdoor seating. Hard to get a good shot as they’re doing some construction and had a large area fenced off. Located on Elden St in Herndon, just a hop-skip-and-jump from the W&OD.

After spending much of last night at the veterinary emergency room instead of biking, I needed something to cheer me up. This is part of a series of playful sculptures called “Gyre and Gimble at Imagination Stage in Bethesda.
