Bollards help delineate and protect pedestrian spaces from vehicle traffic, but their bold forms can detract from the streetscape aesthetic. Iron Age Grates’ Needle Bollard’s curved shape and slim frame emulate the eye of a sewing needle, giving it dual functionality as a bike rack, the company says. Measuring 34" tall above grade and featuring a powdercoat finish, the bollard weighs in at 98 lbs. when made from cast ductile iron, and 36 lbs. when made from aluminum. ironagegrates.com
