I thought it was funny, but then I once got in some SERIOUS trouble while in the Army by 'rolling' a friend's house. We chalked a body outline on his sidewalk and for some reason (who knows why) I had some red cake frosting that I squirted in the head area as a spur of the moment thing.
Yeah, explaining that it wasn't a threat was a lot of fun the next day.

Someone painted green hearts on the bike lane symbols on my commute. I need to photograph it.

All that's missing are some white automobile tire tracks. Otherwise, I think it's a grand idea.

Paint the parentless child of the now dead fictional cyclist next to it, why not? Funny, right? 
I can't make light of something like that, though the artist does deserve some credit for the taco'd wheel. Clever touch.

any idea where this actually is?
we should make a stencil of a head-on collision (of cars), complete with blood n' guts, and put it next to this one.

Then you can add the starving cat with it's empty food bowl, and an aquarium full of belly-up fish to complete the scene.

At first glance and reading "Seattle", I thought it meant "Don't bike with a coffee mug."

But... have we really over analyzed this properly? I mean, like, why did this guy's head come off? Why did his helmet come off? And... the wisdom of riding around on two wheels, without even a frame to connect them, is dubious at best.

^I think you're on to something there... let's further over analyze... shall we?
Why are his (or her...) wheels split? And what about the feet? Have they been removed by aliens? Is this perhaps a some new form of alien mutilation activity?

I'm a big fan of sick humor, it's why I'll never go anywhere in life. The cyclist didn't get run over, the front wheel is taco'd. Getting run over would taco your rear wheel.
I used to ride over the outline of a motorcyclist that got run over, that was a little freaky. As I posted in another thread, it never rains in Utah, so the outline lasted a very long time.

personally I think it's funny.
I also think Barack Obama probably painted it. (take that, all you Republican blamers!

This is clearly anti-hula-hoop propaganda... and I, for one, support it. Hula hoops, taco'd or not, have no place in our stand-around-and-drink-coffee lanes. Take a look at that spill!
