[SpokeyDokey]

Yup... most look like this nowadays:

Bet you don't have these over there.

Runaway Deltic on a vertical track with a bent side mounted VHF dipole and incoming meteorite warning?

When an ungated level crossing still shows this...

Well, how much does this look like an even moderately modern train?

That's still how trains are remembered in Bude - what does a modern train look like? Nearest station with a decent service is 50 miles away.

Never mind your badly drawn bikes - have you seen these badly drawn pets? Poor guy is overwhelmed with requests.

That face-swapped sleeping dog full of existential dread is amazing.

We've had this on here before, but this thread is an opportunity to repeat ...

Artist Gianluca Gimini took people's drawings of bikes and converted them into realistic CGI renderings

And even had some real bikes made up

We need to see videos of people trying to ride them

I've heard of this as one of those sort of bollocks personality tests in job interviews. You ask someone to do it against the clock and without thinking. Apparently the more 'masculine' your brain, the more functional you will make it, adding brakes and shifters and stuff, while more 'feminine' your brain, the prettier you will make it, with maybe tassels on the handlebars, a rider or some background like a road or town or whatever.

Like I said, probably bollocks though.

Perhaps they were drawing one of these?

This is now going off topic but if you liked Gianluca Gimini's 3D rendered bikes, you might also like "The Uncomfortable" by artist Katerina Kamprani - deliberately inconvenient everyday objects.

Reminds me of Reggie Perrin’s Grot shop best seller, a cruet with no holes.

Probably because they don't use spray paint, they use that gloopy stuff that is put on with a roller. Presumably because it lasts longer.

Carrying stencils all the different signs and symbols would probably add to the hassle and time for a road painter.

However I am no expert in road painting, so that is just a guess.

Stencils you say? Pah!

[I like Skol]

He's done that before!

 

[MontyVeda]

He's done that before!

only one crank though... and the chain's not so much slack but slightly missing

 

[matticus]

Bike lanes are for all bikes - even with 1 crank or a chain missing!

 

[Domus]

I think there is a chalk version he over lays.
