LIFECYCLE: 365 days in the life of a bike in NYC

_
Thought this was interesting:

"Last year, Red Peak Branding conducted a unique urban experiment for Hudson Urban Bicycles. On January 1, 2011 we chained a fully loaded bike - bells, basket, lights and more - to a post along a busy Soho street. We took a picture of the bike everyday for 365 days, watching it slowly vanish before our eyes. The photos we took were then turned into a daily calendar. We call this project LIFECYCLE: 365 days in the life of a bike in NYC."

0:28 day 157 water bottle
0:31 day 214 basket
0:32 day 225 bike lock
0:33 day 231 seat, day 241 parcel rack
0:34 day 248 front wheel, day 252 handlebar grips
0:35 day 270 rest of the bike

Blacked Out

Given my relatively small viewer base i'm sure me blacking out isn't going to change anything, or influence anyone of importance. Bottom line though-i'm not one to stand by sucking my thumb while a small percentage of tools change the world forever and just do nothing about it. I couldn't not black out. I don't agree with everything regarding the situation, but hey, lets not stop brewing beer because of a few spoiled batches--right? Let's not screw the whole country over because of  the corporate world's lack of ability to protect their own crap from pirates. This is a little drastic if you ask me. It's like punishing a whole neighborhood because the richest guy's house got broken into.
