View Full Version : So what does an 'Asphalt Angel' look like?

I've seen references to 'Asphalt Angels' a few times recently as a sort of bikers' guardian angel. Started thinking that it might be kind of nice to have a tiny asphalt angel painted somewhere on my bike ... not because I believe it would necessarily keep me safer ... but perhaps just as acknowledgement that sometimes all that stands between us and disaster is a bit of luck. Anyway, has anyone seen an image of such a thing? (Google was no help). I guess if not, I can always get an arty friend to sketch up something appropriate.

If you get it done, can you have another one of a guy on a cruiser with the angel?

Want to put one on my bike now.:o

I've now had a bit of a look and all I could find was this rather 70's version. I like Waylander's suggestion, tho.

My daughter has a friend who's an art freak (designs T shirts and stuff for a living). She's txting her now to ask if she'd mind doing a few sketches. If anyone has any other suggestions as to what an asphalt angel might look like ... fire them this way.

ASPHALT ANGELS
by Laurence P. Scerri (www.ironhorsewriter.com)

Dear Lord,
A word, if I may,
I suppose one could say,
This constitutes,
An attempt to pray,
Neither selfishness nor greed,
Rather a heartfelt need,
For Asphalt Angels
To intercede.

Please Lord, protect us from cagers,
Fumbling for pagers,
Driving with pets on their lap,
Cell phone in hand,
Please understand.
I’m tired of dealing with this crap.

Oh Lord,
Help me to see,
Mercifully,
Keep “Thou shalt not kill”
An option for me.
I shall abide
If you shall provide
Asphalt Angels
On every ride.
