"Let's bike it"


A few Latvian activists from a branch of the bicycle advocacy group Let’s Bike it recently created a visual reminder of the space taken by cars on a typical road. To accomplish this, the group fabricated bamboo skeletons shaped like actual cars and mounted them on their bikes. The activists then cycled around the streets of Riga for several hours to highlight the absurdity of using a large car to move a single person. The stunt was organized as part of European Mobility Week, an ongoing campaign that explores sustainable urban mobility around Europe. (via DesignboomMy Modern Met)





Fantastic idea! its creative, inventive and a strong point to raise awareness. When it comes to my practical body of work, I want to make something that does all of these things.

Need to -

- Think of alternative ways in which to raise awareness for the said problem I am tackling.

- Be creative, do something that hasn't been done before.

- Take the examples of things people have done on board and form my own understanding of how things can be done to make people realise the importance of sustainability.
