'Contrail' - or how to re-claim the streets with the aid of some coloured chalks

won't it reduce traction?

I wonder where the idea came from??

and yet the photo was a fake;

Ed how long did it take you to retouch all the pruddy colours out? :(

its a competition, its not a real product. like the laser cycle path.

And as for you:

Oh and Tron Guy RULZ whilst we're at it.

he#s not lame. look at that smile! the man's having fun - hat's off to him.

i like the chalk idea - although permanent paint would be better (although maybe a bit more hazardous for all those nice paint jobs out there; but may also put some colour into all those f.ing gray hybrids out there...). slowly, organically creating cycles - brilliant. lanes.

Helmet fail!

Nice idea tho. :)

I want to see that in the shops (or just for sale on the forum...)

He'll be fine. The extra dorra he spent on that rapha bag means the fashion god will protect him.

Turning every city into a giant Spirograph is a great idea.

I want one.

would be amazing on the big group rides if everyone had one
there would be so many trails

Would be first up for using these on any rides with my kids-giving them chalk to 'create' i.e doodle with on street based events is the best

Great Concept, I would love to hit the street with one of them.

yeah nice, so if someone sees you riding along and links the colour up with your bike and you, they follow the trail like goldilocks and theyve got your house, your pretty bike and your pretty chalk dispenser.

Just why do you think it's called 'Contrail'?

Goldilocks didn't follow the trail, that would be Hansel & Gretel.
Fairy story fail.

Hansel and Gretel ate the house, didnt they? Did some old witch put them in the oven or something? Thats pretty dark! Or maybe that is just my bent recollection from chilhood. Jesus! She put them in the oven!

I also heard last night that ring a ring a rosie is about the plague! "We all fall down". Fuck me! Kids are singing this song about people dying from the plague! DARK!

Nursery rhymes are fucking grim.

Nursery rhymes are fucking Grimm.

Urban myth. Stephen Fry told me - so it must be true, or rather False.
