Bicycle Contrails

Alex •

Contrail is a fun little gadget developed by Studio Gelardi to let bicyclists "mark" their bike paths. As more an more bikers ride on the same path, the contrail lines get brighter. Ostensibly, they say that the gadget allows other bicyclists the path that is safe to ride on but I'm sure that a big part of the appeal is the sheer fun in making roads look like Skittles rainbow.

I think I've spotted this before on Neatorama- With the caption that it seems like a good way to make art.

If only I could remember where!

It's supersweet anyhow. :)

I have an artsy alternative, that should not get you into trouble and will make your bicycle just as fun.
Send me 30 bucks and I will send you a kit that makes your bicycle sound like a motorbike.

Actually as a person who funded there way through art school by "screeving" AKA pavement drawing in chalk, I can tell you that in a lot of places pavement drawing is not allowed.

That is why you see the people with the huge bits of paper taped down to the pavements nowadays. They get into trouble if they don't.

SO the bike contrail thing is absolutely destined to fall foul of the law.

Hell in Australia they seem to now want cyclists to have registration plates,insurance,road tax, and pass road worthy testing, so I think the days of carefree cycling are pretty much numbered.

An earth (orbit) indicator, sometimes called „mechanical mission globe“ indicates the position of a spacecraft over the planet or subsatellite point.

This one seems to be soviet made, similar ones have been used in Soyuz, TKS, Vostok, Almaz and Salyut...

The numbers indicate earth communication stations..

Branier than the average bear, size m, ladies fit, suggested color..

Despite the ominous appearance, this is actually just a device for locating the coin slots on mini globe banks. It takes much more precision than you'd think.

Nikita Khrushchev had this device developed in 1961 to track the movements of Santa Claus. You see, for three years in a row he received nothing in his stocking. Knowing full well that he had in fact been a good boy he believed that Santa had been assassinated and replaced with a US spy. What better way to spy on anyone in the world than with the perfect disguise of a jolly fat man sneaking into people's homes at night and placing toys with hidden cameras and microphones.

So Khrushchev used this device to track and then capture the US Santa Claus spy and then use brainwashing techniques to turn him into a double agent. All of this is of course what really led to the Cuban Missile Crisis in 1962.

Oh, good - it's a spare planet, Third Rock From the Sun edition! In case of cataclysmic event, just break glass.
