Activists in Riga, Latvia constructed full-size bamboo car skeletons and attached them to bicycles, riding the lightweight frames through city streets to highlight how much space vehicles occupy. The moving bamboo outlines drew attention to traffic congestion and car dominance in Riga, prompting onlookers to reconsider transportation choices and urban design. The unusual, eye-catching gesture used the contrast between bicycles and car-sized frames to spark conversation about mobility and public space.
