Car Less Brit

About six months ago, Roanoke, VA experienced the wonder-filled opening of Car Less Museum, and the corner of Kirk Avenue and 2nd Street has not been the same since.

Sadly, circumstances have brought an abrupt halt to the merriment and mayhem in the shadows of the Municipal Building.

Last night, two masked marauders were caught in the act of tearing down one of the Star City’s most revered and iconic, though temporary, landmarks.

The group Bad Eye Deer Bicycles has claimed responsibility for the attack.

Margaret and Emily in Car Less Brit Museum, with an essential tool for road biking above them (artist, Joe Kelley); Margaret riding the bike lane in the museum; and the iron-on patch leaving gift they gave me.
