What’s more fun than sidewalk chalk and a bicycle? Scott Bauman of Washington has found an ingenious way to combine the two in Chalktrail – a bicycle attachment that allows a rider to leave a chalk trail behind them. Bauman is currently raising funds on Kickstarter. (Laughing Squid)

I saw this on a few design blogs yesterday. Dear God, PLEASE do not donate to this project on Kickstarter. It looks clever and barely attractive in the promo video, but do you know what it would look like in real life? Ugly, irregular graffiti. Bike paths everywhere would look like the inside of toilet stalls. Where can I start a fundraiser to pay Scott Bauman to go away?
