Ai Weiwei is a Chinese artist and political activist. His sculpture, Forever Bicycles, was installed in Nathan Phillips Square in Toronto for Nuit Blanche in 2013. It is made up of 3144 bicycles.
I will let the pictures of it speak for themselves. It was an amazing thing to see.

| 3144 real bicycle frames... |

| All the wheels are real, laced up bicycle wheels. They also spin freely and it is possible to play with the sculpture a bit. |

| Depending on how you look at it, the sculpture is a real eye bender. I was not the only one chuckling though at the irony of this particular sculpture being outside city hall, what with a mayor that openly hates cycling. |
