The reCyculture team created an epic installation on the roof of the World’s End pub – Night Bikes – as part of SHINE On London Road. The installation was commissioned by Brighton & Hove City Council and Portas Pilot regeneration scheme as alternative Xmas lights and was in place December 2013 to January 2014, surviving the festive season’s storms and 90mph gale force winds.

Five bikes leapt off the top of of a stunning, if slightly neglected building. It was a scary climb, but the view over the city was astounding…

…especially at night.

We collected 5 bikes from sheds & gardens across the city & beyond…

…& painted them in the old Circus Street Market.

First white

Then green

Technicians Martin & Simon worked with Gabriel of Samesky on the instal

The bikes had put a spotlight on the World Famous pub & its tired paintwork. They wanted to keep the bikes they painted the building a couple of weeks later.
