It was only a matter of time before someone attempted this, right? Ai Weiwei has an installation in Nathan Phillips Square in Toronto that is made out of 3,144 stacked bicycles. It was installed during Scotiabank Nuit Blanche and will remain at the site until October 27. Some brave soul recently got caught doing what hundreds of people wish they could: he climbed to the top of the installation to have his moment of glory. The police closed off the area and arrested him. We're sure he isn't the first person to attempt this, he just had really bad timing. We guess if you're going to go all in you have to be ready to pay for your actions.
