Ah here.
Dublin, unspecified location.

Perhaps the design of the Dublin City Council’s Residential Bicycle Hanger is a bit too challenging for the average cyclist or the effects of the lockdown has led to a little frustration…

Quite an ugly thing isn’t it? A brighter colour would serve it better.
I dunno, looks like a bread bin and I like bread. Reminds me of breakfast
Nah. You don’t want it looking like some giant flower or Psychedelic nonsense. Keep it as business like and unobtrusive as possible. Anything bright and colourful will attract Gitnas. Remember the Fibre glass Cow Art that was installed in every major city in Europe without a problem?

But you can’t nick it, it’s bolted down. I’m all for it being tarted up, though, and you just know it wil” be at some point (and street art isn’t vandalism). At the moment it really is feckin’ boring,
Yeah let’s raleigh round and paint it.

I’m not talking about street art. I’m talking about some toerag deliberately smashing it with hammers/chainsaw/angle grinder/base ball bat/ ripped off arm of his latest victim. You are sadly correct in that it will be vandalised or destroyed at some stage, but I figure that horribly inevitable process can be delayed if it doesn’t look like a piece of art. The kind of feral degenerates who destroy Public property seem to hold a special hatred in their hearts for “Art” or anything that might bring happiness to people.
Where I live the local teenage wildlife tend to destroy the gardens/windows of people who put down nice Flowers or otherwise try to improve their living space. It genuinely offends them.
