    This is like so smart. I was outside this gallery for a second because my friend is like doing the curator of the show and she wanted to like say hi. I didn’t want to hold my bike for 5 minutes so I dropped it near a curb. Then, like, my bike stood in mid air…I was like WTF LOL. Then I realized the curb held it up.
