The Bicycle as Art
Richard D posted a link in the PG 13 soft-core gallery of fit females https://www.echosvelo.net/article.php3?id_article=144 and I got to thinking about the bicycle as art. Many will agree that the bicycle is one of the finest accomplishments in engineering and some are truly works of art. But how about the bicycle as art? The most well known piece that I am aware of is Marcel Duchamp’s 1913 readymade entitled Roue de bicyclette. Are there any others out there that you are aware of?

This won't be a very helpful answer but in Canada --either in the Art museum in Montreal, The National gallery in Ottawa or the Art Gallery in Toronto there is a rather large painting of a Blue Bicycle. That's it. Just the bicycle. I can't remember the artist either.
I wish my memory were better, but it does confirm that there is more than just DuChamp's piece.

I'm not sure if this qualifies, but this is my favorite work of bicycle art:
