Cruisin' on my Bluebird
got the music playing brass in my head now
back on topic, arguably the most famous bicycle poster of all time, Alphonse Mucha, 1902.
you'll note his eye for the structure of bicycles is as accurate as his eye for the structure of women
Great story about his rise to prominence as the loudest voice of Art Nouveau (= black-line comic book art for the masses).
He was a choir master in Brno and had no idea painting could be a livelihood. A visiting icon restorationist saw the quality in his painting hobby and told him he should head to Paris. One day he was buying art supplies. Sarah Bernhardt walked in, lamenting at the owner about the poor quality of the recent stage bill poster art she had received from the owner's charge. She said anyone could do better and pointed at Mucha. So he got the work. After his first poster was spread across Paris, every copy had been stolen within 3 hours.
