Pedalphilia is the creation of Keira Dooley, an LA artist / bicycle evangelist who thrives on creating art about various bicycle cultures. Her works summon one’s inner desire to ride a bicycle and often explore historic and contemporary verses of feminism in relation to bicycles. Read about the origins of Pedalphilia in The Thesis.

• Pet your bike lovingly and whisper sweet nothings to her/him on a regular basis.
• Prefer bikes over people.
• Think about taking a detour on a bike trip to engage in a sexual encounter.
• Visit a bike store and drool exits your mouth when you spot a two-wheeled, titanium beauty with Mavic wheels.
• Try to find bikes for bikeless people.
• Ride naked.
• Prefer bikes over cars.
• Try to find homes for homeless bicycles.
