If Butts Could Talk
If you bike on the street you are familiar with the “door zone” (also known as the “bike lane.”) You are probably also familiar with another frequent obstacle in the bike lane. Butts.
Yes, the bike lane is the place where people mess with unseen shit inside their car. While I see them in advance and can avoid them, it still causes nerves since it forces me to merge into traffic. And I always ring my bell as I pass in case they are inclined to back even further into my path.
Because I find myself dodging butts so often, I’ve started to wonder what is so fascinating inside their cars.
I wonder if they dropped something super important.
Or if they are having some mechanical issues with their vehicle.
Or if they are just a little lonely.
I just stumbled upon your blog, and love it! Thank you 🙂
I always go for the friendly ass-slap when passing round bike lane occupants. Should I not be encouraging their behavior?
What fun artwork!!! At least if you can see their butts that means the door is already opened and you’re safe from being doored. I’ll take a butt over a door anytime.
Someday, someone is going to do this with an ass that is just too big. When that bike passes it will be a cat-ASS-trophy
The real problem is the placement of a bike lane in a door zone in the first place. Bike lane or no bike lane, just stay out of the door zone.
And drivers complain the they don’t like us in the “car lane” when there is a bike lane.
