Lincoln artist Charley Friedman presents the bike sculpture he created with a decommissioned one from the Tour de Lincoln that was unveiled in front of Open Harvest Co-Op grocery in Lincoln's Telegraph District on Friday, Mar. 20, 2026. (Jeff Motz/KFOR News)LINCOLN–(KFOR Mar. 20)–James “Jimbo ” Baylor was known by a lot of people around Lincoln, either someplace downtown like the Zoo Bar where he loved to karaoke on Thursday night, out biking or walking. Baylor passed away in September 2023 at the age of 55, days after he was attacked in downtown Lincoln.  On Friday, James’ legacy was honored with a special bike sculpture in front of Open Harvest grocery, where James volunteered.  The idea to honor James with the bike sculpture came from Clay and Beth Smith, who are friends of the Baylor family, weeks after James’ funeral. “They said we’ve purchased two retired bicycle sculptures and would you be interested in repurposing them in James’ honor,” John Baylor told KFOR News on Friday.  “And we put it out in front of Open Harvest, where he volunteered for years of his life.” Another view of the bike sculpture in honor of the late James Baylor, created by childhood friend and Lincoln artist Charley Friedman. (Jeff Motz/KFOR News) The retired bike sculptures were part of the Tour de Lincoln bike display across the city about 20 years ago.  John Baylor, who is the radio voice of Nebraska volleyball and James’ older brother, said this sculpture means everything to the family. “It allows us to remember his kind, dear spirit indefinitely,” John added. The sculpture was done by a childhood friend of James Baylor’s, Lincoln artist Charley Friedman.  He said the wheels on the bike are decorated with album covers. “Almost every single one is from ‘Jimbo’s’ record collection.  They are records that we grew up with,” said Friedman, who went to elementary school, junior high and later high school at Lincoln Southeast with James Baylor. ...read more read less
