Anthropomorphizing a common urban fixture, designer duo <a href="http://www.alfredoandalberto.com/#/walkbump/">Alfredo and Alberto</a> make a walk through Los Angeles a lot more fun with nothing more than some silicone, glue and a #walkbump sticker printed with the simple instructions &ldquo;fist bump to cross.&rdquo;</p>

<p>The designers captured video of pedestrians as they encountered the guerrilla installation. Nearly everybody seems game to play along, some snapping selfies. While the Spanish-born designers don&rsquo;t explain exactly how they made it, all it likely took to create was taking a quick clay mold of the button for a seamless fit, and a separate one of a fist, casting them into one piece in an eye-catching yellow hue. </p>

<p>This &lsquo;quick and dirty&rsquo; urban intervention calls to mind the <a href="https://weburbanist.com/2014/04/04/the-rotten-apple-project-quick-and-dirty-urban-hacks/">Rotten Apple Project</a>, a series of cheap projects that anyone can replicate in their own cities, from turning a bike rack into a folding seat to screwing coat hooks onto bus stop signs. This kind of active participation in how cities look and function &ndash; often without the permission of officials &ndash; can enliven public spaces, whether the installations are just for fun or create new uses for existing structures. <a href="https://weburbanist.com/2014/03/12/city-hacktivism-12-fun-diy-urbanism-interventions/">Check out 12 more creative DIY urban interventions.</a></p>
