Bicycle Rack with "Blue Rope" (+PiP)

Spotted on The Hard, in Portsmouth, Hampshire. A first glance the "rope work" could be real, but in fact it is some very nicely done metalwork painted to look like knotted blue rope.

I thought about adding it to Xata's group, but decided not to push my luck :-)))
