Day 168

Writer Irina Dunn first famously coined the phrase "a woman needs a van about as much as a fish made of bicycles".

Ok, she didn't quite put it like that, but now I have, inspired by today's THREEHUNDREDANDSIXTEEFIVE challenge T-shirt. Duncan over at Ban T-shirts UK has very kindly donated this second T-shirt to my project, depicting a large fish shape composed of various yellow bicycle silhouettes, about to chomp down on a mean old atmosphere polluting van, perhaps belonging to the A Team.
Given that Ban T-shirts UK are of the revolutionary ilk, the message behind this design is clear; major convocations of cyclists should, and one day will, take a stand against vehicles of the non-man-powered variety, thus eradicating the numerous negativities that come with them. This may or may not be achieved via the formation of an aggressive aquatic life form.
And to those who have just rolled their eyes at the notion of such pro-cycling propaganda, you are currently missing a treat. If you would continue to browse through the bikes, trikes and penny farthings assembled in this design, you would spot a curious cameo from an extra terrestrial bicycle enthusiast also rallying against the use of motor vehicles, perhaps in favour of a cleaner form of propulsion. Such as star dust.

Ban T-shirts UK print predominantly on fair-trade organically produced cotton, are proud to be sweatshop free, and demand no charge for domestic shipping. As you can see, they clearly don't play by anyone's rules but their own.
