The steel, glass and LED piece sells for $235,000, is waterproof and can be placed outdoors but needs an electrical outlet. It’s displayed by Melissa Morgan Fine Art, a gallery from Palm Desert, California. Adamich and Stroyan said they can get about more quickly at crowded places when they’re on bikes.
