this is a bit delayed because i actually discovered these awesome bikes a few days ago, but better late than never! so, lance armstrong has now collaborated with Nike in asking 20 professional artists to design bikes to raise funds for cancer awareness. the project is entitled "stages" and the exhibit to display the bikes and other artwork will continue until august 8th at Galerie Emmanuel Perrotin in Paris during the length of the Tour de France. it will then travel to new york city in october before moving to los angeles. all proceeds will go to the Lance Armstrong Foundation and some of the bikes (designed by artists Kaws, Shepard Fairey, Marc Newson, Kenny Scharf, Yoshitomo Nara and Damien Hirst) will actually go to lance himself for remaining 2009 races. pretty awesome, eh?
