Seeing bikes with their handlebars leaned up against cars always gives me childhood flashbacks.
Both ends of my BMX handlebars were sticking through the grip ends and I had to wheel the bike through the garage between my parents' two parked cars to come/go. I would always have to cup my hands over the end of the bars to avoid giving a car an added horizontal racing pin stripe scratch.
One time I was in a hurry and forgot...a good foot long scratch on my dad's minivan door. He about murdered me but of course I played it off...until he set the bike near the minivan and saw my bars were at the exact height of the scratch. haha...I was so dead.
