Torontoist posted a pretty funny story by one Derek Chadbourne about putting up a guaranteed bike lane.
We marveled at the power of the pylon and how it averted traffic around them. Even a giant dump truck frantically changed lanes as to not feel the wrath of our little cones.Funny picture too, by Tino. Also, if you want a crash course in urban cycling debate, read the comments. Every bike politics cliché is represented, including my personal favourite...'I'm a cyclist and a car driver, so I can see both sides of the issue...'

Following up on a quote from Tom Moody which I'll repeat:
"Artists, too, have to compete with real world content far more captivating than anything they could come up with, which the Internet effectively gathers all in one place (sneezing Pandas, etc). Two possible responses are (1) to continually rise above it through aesthetic and conceptual framing and posturing or (2) to disappear into it and trust the viewer to ultimately sort out what's going on. The Web is a consumer's medium, not a producer's, so the artist is inexorably led to consumption as a "practice." The degree of criticality can only be inferred, not implied."Here are some more posts on net aesthetics.
