The Most Perfectest Safety Gear
There’s a lot of safety gear made for cyclists. Reflective vests, ankle reflectors, mirrors, flags, lights, more lights, fancy lights, super fancy lights.
However with all of these products it seems that cars still like to run into us. Even on purpose.
Perhaps there is better safety solution. A better way to protect ourselves. Maybe it’s something so obvious we overlook it everyday.
What is this solution you ask?
Puppies.
Yes, puppies. Cute adorable puppies with big sparkly eyes and little wet noses and pink tongues.
What’s that you say? Puppies are not bike gear?
Uh, think again:
Because apparently human beings don’t have a problem with hurting other human beings… just because they happen to have a bicycle.
However intentionally hurting a puppy is a totally different thing. Nobody dares do that. Because that would mean that you’re actually a bad person.
animal crossing signs aren’t posted to save the lives of animals. they are posted to warn people to slow down so that people don’t get killed by crashing into the animal, or by their erratic maneuvers taken in haste to avoid the animal.
that’s why bikes don’t need caution signs, nobody swerves to avoid them since they never see them to begin with. we will know when more people are riding their bikes in the roadway where they belong when transportation agencies do start posting bike warning signs.
Poor pups don’t look too happy. Could be reported to the NSPCA. Just kidding. Hilarious sketch. Just gets better and better.
Oh my goodness that first drawing is too precious! Puppies wicking each other!? Killer cute.
I used to bring my dog to school with me by putting him into a backpack with his head sticking out. I didn’t notice that it made a huge difference in how cars behaved around me, but maybe it was because he wasn’t a puppy, just a small dog!
