Some mural options for George Washington High

I Love Bikes

Or they could get Jim Swanson (below) to do a mural lauding bikes and Critical Mass, the monthly, city-sanctioned disruption of the commute on the last Friday of every month. I bet the kids would like that (And don't forget, kids, it's tomorrow!):

If he got the job, Lennart Gabel (below) would surely come up with something that has contemporary relevance:
