Bikers Revenge

Bikers Revenge
This concept deals with safety, awareness and space for urban cyclists from an aggressive, rather than passive, point of view. Although done with the intent of humor, this project resulted in a serious online discussion receiving millions of views and thousands of comments from around the world on dozens of blogs.

**This project is only a commentary piece and was never actually used. It was intended to spark a dialogue and was very successful at that. I do not support actually doing this and you would probably get hurt if you did!
