As a gallery installation, I attach Bike Date per-recorded audio excerpts to a stationary bike. The bike, bordered with astro turf on one side and roadway pavement markings on the other, simulates cycling on the road, while the audio provides an actual, and disturbing, roadway audio experience. Enlarged line drawings and laminated booklets from past Bike Dates, and fabricated bike fist roadway signs surround the audience while they pedal and listen.
