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.

The Most Perfectest Safety Gear

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:

The Most Perfectest Safety Gear

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.

    Lol, there’s a lot of serious comment here. Why not do it with donkeys? Or baby elephants? Everyone loves elephants!

    sorry to burst your bubble, but according to Experiment 1 in this article (http://bit.ly/5CI6oU), humans are more likely to harm animals than people. Granted, this not any more comforting for me on my commute home.

    I ride with my tiny Boston Terrier (she is only 12 lbs) in a basket in back. Cars are still assholes. Of course, there are the few that notice the pooch and are always amused.

    Kids work even better than pets :). And nothing works better than a kid stoking a tandem in morning traffic. The drivers disperse to the sides for us to pass, as we wave and smile to the poor schmucks.
