There's a new trend making the rounds on social media called the "butt dart" stunt. It involves pointing a finger gun, making a shooting noise, and yelling "butt dart!" at cyclists.

While the act seems silly and harmless, cyclists around Orange County are feeling intimidated. Several riders are considering filing a harassment suit against Chad Towersey, the man who started the whole thing.

Gven Sariol, a cycling safety advocate at the Sariol Legal firm in Santa Ana, told the OC Register:

“What we want is for (Towersey) to denounce this."

Towersey says he's performing and recording the stunt as a way to promote safe riding:

“Please ride safe and obey the rules of the road — That is all we ask."

Law enforcement says the act isn't illegal, but cyclists are worried that the "butt dart" fad could create dangerous situations.
