Bicycle Taxidermy by Regan Appleton

Posted by on Nov 19, 2012 in ART

The proudest moment in a man’s life might be when he finally mounts that first hunters kill, a twelve point rack at that, boasting the dramatic story to guests for the rest of his days. Well, Regan Appleton has his own pride and joy. Bicycle Taxidermy showcases sentimental handlebars. It all started when he grew homesick from the rolling hills of Scotland where he was from. He remembered his father riding bicycles through the landscape and it brought him great comfort. So, he decided to soothe his pain with these honorable plaques. Some are flashy and smooth with shiny gold metals, others are rugged and mountain bearing for different adventures. Each one tells its own tale; each one gets equal credit for being something to be proud of.
