Description: Patti Parsons created art that celebrates the route of the Flash Lite on Mill. "Cycling by the Rio Salado" is a whimsical tribute to Tempe's many bicycle riders and to the Rio Salado/Tempe Town Lake. Using sophisticated computer graphics, Parsons created art that appears abstract up close, but at a distance it comes into full view. When boarding the bus, it may be difficult to identify the images. But as the bus drives away, the images become clear.
