I'm going to try sculpting
I am going to make a sculpture, something bike themed, and I've already drawn it out.
More directly would be bikeFORUMS themed. My dad is a trained sculptor, so he could probably help me out. I just wanted to inform you guys.
Post pics of your MTBs and BMX bikes

Take a piece of granite and chip away anything that doesn't look like a bike.

Granite is much to hard, you would dull any steel very quickly.
I would know, I sell granite for a living

sculpting is a fun deal. once you finally start getting the results you want it's actually a little addicting.
here's a mold i carved/sculpted a while back to make rc car bodies.
i used two 2x4's and some body filler

I vote for wood. Nothing like a band saw and a file to prove your artistic salt.
Well, a really nice band saw and an artillery of files, sanding discs and drums, microfiber papers, tung oil, and a heap of patience. Then make it into a lamp. That'll show it.

I remember being in the office in high school one day when another student was being marched into the dean's office for that exact same thing!
