The Joy of Cycling
By Airside, a design firm in London. Apparently Transport for London didn't get it.

Is it me or does the photo of the two in "Meet New Partners" look a little kinky?

Is this serious? If so, it's just wrong...

It really is a pretty good parody of the Joy of Sex drawings.

It is quite obvious that none of you know or understand the "Mayor of London"--Never seen this poster and I doubt that many have but it does seem in line with something "Boris" would put his name to.

I guess that's what Airside thought when they made it. But apparently it didn't pass muster with Transport of London who never adopted it. Clients can be so finicky.

BTW, if anyone's interested in the way the artwork was developed for the book for which this poster is a parody, this is a good read. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/magazine-15309357

Artkansas, Looks to be (or could've been) an effective ad campaign, I like it. Nothing like a subliminal nudge.

In one instance,
the copy tells us the so-called UK is a dry country ,
in another , the weather is notoriously unpredictable .
Seems hard to reconcile .
Agree with Artkansas about clients, though .
Maybe a bit cheeky , but I'm surprised Boris didn't like it .
