Or is it an object specifically desgned not as a means of locomotion but rather an object to be hung soley on a wall and be "admired"? If you think that a bike was made specifically for the later[sic], I would say that one of us is wrong.

Why does one of you have to be wrong? Just curious. I always envisioned bikes as a mixure of both, their proportions varying from builder to builder.
