Dennis has been to see the Bike Art Show here in the Pikes Peak Region for at least five years. This year, he made a bowl to commemorate the 7-Eleven Velodrome in Colorado Springs. It is a clean hard maple with inlaid crushed stone in the shape of bicycle racers.
This may be the first bowl ever in the Bike Art Show. It follows a long tradition of decorating bowls with arena events. Picasso painted the bull fight arena on ceramic bowls fifty years ago, and now we have Dennis Liggett and bicycle track racing.
A highlight of this year’s show wasn’t an entry–it was an ice cream maker churned via stationary bicycle.
