Bike racks outside French Corner

About

A cut-metal figure of a fish riding a bike and carrying a surfboard, mounted atop the bike rack outside French Corner Bakery. The name riffs on Irina Dunn's 1970 phrase: "A woman needs a man like a fish needs a bike" — first written on bathroom walls at the University of Sydney, later widely attributed to Gloria Steinem for decades until she publicly credited Dunn in 2000. A matching decorative cut-metal rack nearby features a different marine composition — see Hammock Fish Bike Rack.
