For being mandatory where I live, it sure is odd literally no one decided to draw some reflectors on the spokes.

[–] thermal_shock@lemmy.world 6 points 3 weeks ago

You can understand it's a bike without those. Like a stick figure, no eyes or nose are necessary for you to know what it is.

The style is called Recumbent. Specifically, long wheel base above seat steering.

[–] Humanius@lemmy.world 3 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago) (1 children)

~~Aren't the handlebars usually below the seat on a recumbent bike?~~

Edit: I stand corrected. Apparently there are a bunch of recumbent bikes with high handlebars

[–] RodgeGrabTheCat@sh.itjust.works 3 points 3 weeks ago

High and low handlebars as well as high and low pedals (bottom bracket).

There are also compact long wheelbase, short wheelbase, trikes with either 2 wheels in the front or rear, and 4 wheelers.

I prefer high handlebars so I have an easier time pushing the bike when needed, a place to mount a speedometer, a mirror, and arm pits gets sweater with low handlebars. I've also been thrown up off the seat when I hit a hump in the road. If I was riding a low handlebar bike I'm pretty sure I would have crashed due to losing my grip on the bike.

Lmao, I can't draw.

But: Now I know these comments are real people. (Or are they? 🧐)

Dr Seuss ass bike

[–] Zwuzelmaus@feddit.org 4 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Nice, it has a handle on top for throwing it far away ;-)

[–] moondoggie@lemmy.world 5 points 3 weeks ago

Handle? That’s the propeller.

[–] Humanius@lemmy.world 4 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago)

The only way in which we will know these people are real is if they are able to draw hands perfectly

I cannot prove I didnt cheat..

Also, sorry for the fat-fingered quality.
I drew this on my phone

[–] psx_crab@lemmy.zip 7 points 3 weeks ago

A little bit more practice and you'll be qualified to draw the icon for bike path.

[–] moondoggie@lemmy.world 11 points 3 weeks ago

Dude. I can’t draw a bicycle while looking at it.

[–] cepelinas@sopuli.xyz 10 points 3 weeks ago

I was on the phone so forgive me for my terrible drawing.

Left-facing and spray-painted. Really throwing a curveball here.

This one feels like it's in motion. It's cool.

Sketch of a bicycle

Take some bloody notes, Michelangelo di Lodovico!
Quit drawing titties & dicks & learn some art....and bring that boy Leonardo so that he learns something as well.
