Play Mario Kart on Your Bike

Idle hands are the Devil's playground, and it looks like the bikers in Portland have a lot of time to kill.  Mario Kart symbology appeared overnight on a stretch of bike lane, turning a daily dance with traffic into a video game.

Everyone starts assuming that the city will scrub the pavement of fun because, well, that's what bureaucracy is all about.  Actually, the first step of bureaucracy is to make the word "bureaucracy" so hard to spell, people give up fighting it before they really start.

The real gem is 27 seconds into the video, where a Too Awesome to be a Commuter Cyclist (or T.A.C.C.) shuns the bike lane entirely while dressed in full racing kit, undoubtedly using his ride to his shift at the Apple store as a TDF stage simulator.
