Bicycle awareness and fair bike laws should be emitted to everyone who live in populated city areas. Ridiculous ticketing from NYPD should come to a sensible decline. The road should be for everyone to share. Drivers need to become more aware of cyclists around them. Constant dooring incidents, cut-offs (I experienced one of these, the driver did not use turn signals and made a sharp turn right into me), and cars parking in bike lines occur much too often. A protest on smoother roads with no potholes or cracks can make cyclists feel a lot safer riding around NYC. I will propose a monument to ensure bicycle safety, and to give other pedestrians and drivers more awareness of non-motored vehicles on the road.
Here is a link of a man who got ticketed for not riding his bike on the bike lane, and this is how he responded. http://thefreethoughtproject.com/nypd-gave-wrong-guy-ticket-this-awesome-response/
A monument idea would be a cyclist and a driver on top of a big apple shaped like a heart and the message is to propose peace to one another, and not the constant taxi vs cyclist war. (they are true enemies for decades).
It would be made out of gold to show that it should stand out and to show the importance because it will save lives (bicyclist deaths grow every year) and would be about 20 feet high preferably in union square. (cyclist central)
This monument would be for all the cyclists and drivers that had their deep hatred for one another and will remind each other that we should share the road, keep our cools, and avoid being enemies.
(something like this, tried my best lol)
Riyan this is a GREAT example of how a personal experience can play into an artist's work. Your idea and illustration show your feelings about the issue.
