Richard Reeves on The US Cycling Monument

“Public art offers a special place for us to collectively immerse ourselves in the intrinsic beauty of a creation while exploring one’s own personal expression of the experience. Importantly, public art is a manifestation of the vibrancy, creativity and spirit of a community. The US Cycling Monument not only is a tribute to cycling and cyclists, it is a testament to our community’s energy, and a gift to the heart and mind of every citizen and visitor.

The US Cycling Monument will become part of the canvas of our community — a work to be interpreted variously by each of us. A creation to be enjoyed solely for its artistic presence. A symbol of the natural energy of our community. A fantasy for all who wish for speed and exhilaration. A memorial to all two-wheeled adventurers. Boulder can ask for no better monument or a more beautiful work of art.”
