...of a worse bike frame representation?

Post by Dynamite_funk »

I’ve often found it hilarious how people can get bike frames so wrong. Reading some Dr.Seuss tonight with the little one and came across this fantastic tandem.

Anyone else come across any others lately?

A cartoons job is to convey an impression, not to be accurate. In the case of that picture it's to convey humor and mischief. That's why cartoons rarely if ever make good real world films.

I called it fantastic did I not?

I haven’t been on these boards for a while but it seems they are now frequented by some pretty serious people getting serious about not very serious things.

A bike ride may help alleviate your negative energy
