A fence was erected to keep pedestrians away from renewal construction. The mural of abstract bicycle riders was printed on fabric and applied to that fence. The building behind the fence was labeled Snoopy.

The mural featured different style bicycles on a continuously winding bicycle path. The mural also replaced human heads with common objects, here a bicycle, a building, a sandwich, and a cup of coffee. Notice all the bicycles had a single rear wheel, except one which had tank treads.

The next mural panel was painted in purple tones. It showed two bicycles with different front wheels (one had a scooter front wheel, while the other had a railroad engine's front end with a cattle catcher). The first bicycle had a cat in a sidecar. The second bicycle had a stone rear wheel.

The bicycle just entering the scene on the left carried a crystal ball instead of handle bars. The bicycle in the center had an owl on a perch and towed a fruit tree in a wagon.

This mural was accented in red and featured a red bird on a red fruit tree being towed in a wagon behind a person wearing a red backpack with an owl on a perch.

In this, the last of the collection of murals, a pizza headed person carried a small dog in a basket above the bicycle's front wheel that lacked spokes.
