While biking the other day in North Oakland, I came across some very literal street art. A stencil of a man pulling a shopping cart. I haven't spontaneously broken out in laughter over an artwork in a while. This is a good one. If you've never been to California or any state that has a beverage container redemption fee, you might not fully appreciate it: because bottles and cans are valuable enough here, people travel around, gathering them (often in shopping carts) to take to the redemption center. Notice the detail of the extension handle (usually a tied plastic bag) so the user doesn't bang their ankles while pulling the cart. And of course, it's in the bike lane, because, well, that's where these carts get pulled around. It's a simple observation of fact. It's not just a bike lane, it's a bike-recycling lane.
