Safe Streets Save Lives

This is one of four video PSA's produced for Safe Streets Save Lives, a bicycle safety campaign to focus on the issues that matter most and will drive real change in South Carolina. This photo made me think of a few friends who have been nailed by cups or plastic bottles while riding.
