Bears On Bikes
A man road his bike south on Church Street, while on the mural behind him, three bears road their bikes north past pyramids. On the lower left of the building was the signature of the artist.

View From Sidewalk
A view of the mural looking north along the sidewalk. The mural wrapped around a structural column that stuck out from the wall.

Sunshine And Pyramids
Sunshine, palm trees, pyramids and vents covered the wall over the first of the three bicycle riding bears. Notice that the bicycle tires lacked spokes.

Two Bears Raced
Two bears appeared to race across the desert past cacti, palm trees, and pyramids. From this angle it also looked as if the bears raced away from a "Closed," sign.

Lead Bike
The leading Bear rode his bicycle well ahead of the other two bears. Notice how abstract the bicycle was. It lacks front and rear forks to hold the tires in place. And the tires lack spokes to hold them centered around a pivot. The bikes were overly simplified to draw attention to the bears and the background.

Lead Bear Under Tree
The leading of the three bears was about to ride past a palm tree. This bear stared straight ahead, never taking his eyes off the road to victory.

New Vent
A vent had been added to the wall after the mural was painted. It was installed and caulked, covering part of the mural. One disadvantage to murals is that the artist seldom returns to fix a mural, especially after the smallest defacement.
