I thought someone would beat me to it, but it hasn't happened so I feel I must clarify about the car sculpture with the mangled bike on the front. It truly does say 'I road in the middle of the road' on the side, but more explanation is necessary. The guy who put it there had this incentive- His wife was driving that road which is popular with cyclists when she came around a bend to find three riders abreast in her lane. In avoiding them, she went off the road and rolled her car.
I don't believe the creator of this 'artwork' is out looking for cyclists to run over, but wants the riders of that road to understand sharing and that what we do does have risk, even when we're out there with caring drivers.
Be careful out there.
