Vintage case of motorist vs. cyclist?
Is that clown thumbing his nose at the cyclist? This is from 1898, looks like things haven't changed all that much in almost 125 years. Well, maybe the "kit" LOL 
Some of those old French bicycle ads were pretty abstract.

A couple of times a month I read about a cyclist or pedestrian being killed in DC by a motorist. For cyclists it's nearly always by right turning drivers when the cyclist is moving straight through an intersection in a bike lane. For pedestrians it's usually if they are "jaywalking" but even people in crosswalks obeying a signal are frequently hit.

Indeed scary staff right there. Cyprus is a small island but it is a bicycle heaven. Still once every 3-4 months we hear of news where a cyclist was run over by a car.

They were in love. A clown and a showgirl. Everyone said it wouldn't last. And I guess they didn't. But it wasn't due to lack of love. Actually her corset was the culprit. It caused a deformed ribcage and serious digestive issues. He finally had enough of her incessant farting. He said farewell, but he gave her his favorite bicycle.

My story is that he's a mime, and that he's yelling to her that he's sorry, and that he loves her... but she can't hear him because she's looking the other way. Sooooo tragic.

She's just turned away from him, thinking, 'Brakes? We don't need no stinking brakes!'
Or clowns for that matter.

My take on it is that the artist thinks that all motorists are clowns.

The man and woman in the poster look like Pierrot and Columbine.
