Not creepy, but it's my favorite depiction of a cyclist. I love this illustration.

Having seen a lot of old bike posters, I continue to be puzzled about why they were often based on racy female poses. One of the strangest ones is this one, from 1897, that features a nude lady chained to a well. I just don't understand the symbolism. I have heard that sex sells, but bondage!?

I am not sure if this classifies as creepy or crazy but it was a good retort to the sudden rise of index shifting. 
I can't remember if they cam from VeloNews or Bike Retailer and Industry News.

Hey Crank_Addict, great thread! New, different, entertaining. So far, no controversy or sniping at other posters.
