Spot on - good guess, although I think the shape of the wheels are just due to the weather rather than by design.
I think it was his wife's bike.

Chained to the outside of his house/museum at Cadaques, in Costa Brava. Well worth a visit if you are in that part of Spain.

Outside the same house in Spain.
