Murals around BICAS

What makes BICAS “more than just a bike shop is our Art program,” their art webpage says. Their new-ish location a bit southwest of Grant & Stone is like their old location, with art outside; we showed their Citizens Warehouse art on February 17, 2014 in Our 900th post: BICAS!.

This mural is on a storage container along the south side, next to Ventura Street:
The bicycle at the top middle has wings:
On the front (east) side of the building is another mural. The top was in shadow while I was there:
As I edited the photo of the whole mural, I noticed some lettering at the top left:
It says COMMERCIAL PRINTERS INC. I found a listing on PrimeBuyersReport.org that says their phone number was (520) 623-4775 and they were “business printers for business envelopes, business cards, letterhead printers”.

Here's a closeup of the bottom right:
Lucky Salway wrote about one or both of the murals on Facebook Messenger May 26, 2023. I can't find that message now, but I'm pretty sure it was the second mural above, on the front of the building.

There's a fun mailbox too. You can see it in the creatively-named blog entry Mailbox outside BICAS on the Tucson Mailbox Art blog.
