This special bike design by Yoshitomo Nara for Lance Armstrong is covered in graffiti. Yoshitomo Nara has worked with other heavyweight artists like KAWS, Shepard Fairley and Damien Hirst.
It’s uncertain whether this collaboration makes a lot of sense. Armstrong is a father of 3 and around 40 years old. While he is a hero to us all, some question the notion of him riding around on a bike covered with graffiti.
