I noticed these on my ride recently. The DC8 Totem Poles that were previously displayed on H Street NE have been moved to the Metropolitan Branch Trail.
The eight totems symbolize the eight wards of DC, and were created by artist Wilfredo Valladares. I think they’re a great addition to the trail. You can see them near the Rhode Island Avenue/Brentwood entrance.
The press release from the DC Commission on the Arts and Humanities is here.
As if my blog weren’t enough, I caved in and signed up for a Twitter account. Follow me– it’s a no-drop ride!
My first try at a shadow panda pic. This was taken on the commute to work last week.

I think bikes are beautiful in themselves. A group of artists recycled bike parts and made them into art. You can see this work and others in the Art of Bike project. More about the project here.
