Ever wonder what happens to a bicycle locked outside for 365 days? Yup, you guessed. It slowly decomposes down to a frame, and eventually disappears.

Last year, Red Peak conducted a unique urban experiment for Hudson Urban Bicycles. On January 1, 2011 they chained a fully loaded bike – bells, basket, lights and more – to a post along a busy Soho street. They took a picture of the bike everyday for 365 days, watching it slowly vanish.
