All around the world people decorate their modes of transportation, whether its an elaborate customized bus in Rawalpindi or a Cadillac with cow horns in Texas. Eugene is a center for bicycle culture and art, and add our penchant for imaginative recycling and its natural that we go a little nutty with our favorite two- and three-wheeled creations.û
