Mandala Magic Mandalas In DIY Art Home Decor And More
Mandala (Sanskrit: ?????, lit, circle) is a spiritual and ritual symbol in Indian religions, representing the universe. In common use, mandala has become a generic term for any diagram, chart or geometric pattern that represents the cosmos metaphysically or symbolically; a microcosm of the universe.

I spotted this sign along the bike path the other day. The art is very well done. I like how the artist tied in the themes of country and city.
Well as far as bike to work goes for me and many other bike commuters every day is bike to work day. So Ill just roll my eyes and keep my comments to myself. But the bottom line is any advocacy to get people out of their cars and onto bikes even for a day is a good thing and I support it.
Heres a great Time article that sums it up quite nicely.

Presented by: The Simcoe Watershed Art Project : Artists Afloat, an ad hoc art group initiated by Jennie Clark, Mary Cellucci, Carol Deimling, Jeanette Luchese and Karen Wild, promoting environmental awareness through visual art. Continuing with the theme of the inaugural exhibition The Ripple Effect: reflecting on the very nature of affecting change: how one small stone tossed into a body of water causes a ripple effect with an almost never ending forward motion. http://simcoewatershedartproject.blogspot.com
