Day by day drives used to be tough for Warren Huska, who cycles 11 miles to work each day. Cars barreling by him. SUVs going inside inches of his bicycle’s handlebars. Drivers sticking on the brakes and jumping from their vehicles to stand up to him.
However, for as long as year, drivers have given Huska a protected passing distance.
Presently, when he mounts his trusty two-wheeled steed, Huska is secured by… a pool noodle.

Strapped to his bike’s frame with bungee cords, the floppy foam cylinder is a reminder to drivers not to get too close.
The change he noticed was “almost magical,” Huska told the Toronto Star. “Suddenly all the cars are changing lanes to go around me.”
Huska said drivers have reeled down their car windows to congratulate him on the usefulness of the noodle.
But, so far, he has heard of only one other cyclist sporting a noodle. That might have something to do with the noodle’s coolness, or lack thereof.
“I’m unconcerned about looking good,” Huska said. “I’m concerned about my safety most!”
