I thought this was art because there is art on the other side in the same style, and it was installed with the pink "broken" bike that looks intentional but, some people actually put their bike on it. There is also no plaque. Part of the concept maybe?
Also Luxembourg is nice in autumn weeee 🍁

A collage of two photos showing an unusual bike rack made of looping silver tubes with a pink bicycle frame attached, missing wheels, handlebars and saddle, making the viewer wonder if this is art or a legit bike rack. The lower photo shows 2 bicycles parked against the rack.

Photograph overlooking the ground, a wooded valley with green, yellow and orange autumn trees, winding paths, scattered houses and a stone wall beneath a clear blue sky

Found the answer by scanning a QR code on another sculpture and digging it is indeed art: https://luxembourgartweek.lu/fr/programme/gilles-pegel-fork-2026

@stephaniewalter Functional art / artistic utilities are the best!

@AmeliaBR Honnestly, Luxembourg has way worse bike racks, at least this one is attached to the ground... Sad but true. Most places have bike rack that are just bike holders, not attached to the floor, just steal the rack with the bike I guess.

@stephaniewalter Oof, yeah: artistic or not, functional needs to come first!

It looks like a puzzle, maybe a collaborative one: The goal is to move the pink bike frame from one end of its curly rail to the other. Doing it without the frame touching either rail may be a part of it.
