For that past few years my family has done a "Secret Santa" style of exchanging gifts (buying one gift for one person is much easier on the wallet than for everyone in my rather large family). Since we don't know who our santa is, we send out our wish list to the entire family via email. I sent out my list last week and I accidentally asked for "bicycle propaganda" instead of "paraphernalia". My mother promptly corrected me. However, I got curious and began to scour the web for bicycle propaganda. I loved what I found so much that I have to share!
Nothin' like a little anti-Nazi prop'ganda to scare yer kids into doin' what they s'pose ta! :)
Not exactly propaganda per se, but one in a very clever collection of car advert knock-offs.
Poster reads:
"360 degree Moonroof.
Just one of many amenities this vehicle offers. Boasting the most sophisticated engine in the world, unparalleled biofuel technology, advanced health maintenance system, 10-21 speed options, and contour leather seating. You'll wonder why you ever drove a car."

There are a few others I'd like to add, but I can only post so many bites of info on this blog and I've been restricted to these two for now. If you would like to find other fun poster, visit CICLE.org, a great website that coincides with many of my core motives for choosing to ride my bike.
Anyway, it's nice to be back on my bike after a brief Thanksgiving hiatus. My legs got so tight over the weekend!
Happy riding to you all!
the hitler poster totally made my day.
ReplyDeleteI rode my bike all last winter, and it was a challenge, but a lot of fun!
great blog, zach!
