Pause & Rewind: Cycle Smugness

You can't beat the smugness of being a regular cyclist. Last year someone went around NYC or another cool city where street art is cool, and documented said smugness.

You don't get scars on your knees and  shoulders from driving a car though

I assume that t-shirts and mugs were made with the image, and some idiot probably got a tattoo of a bicycle on his calf to show the world how smug he is about being a regular cyclist. But the smugness has now extended to Chinese fake bicycles!


In February when in Mwrauk Ou in the north-west of Myanmar, I saw the above decal on the frame of the second-most-uncomfortable bike I have ever rented.Of course, they haven't got the message quite right and have decided to prioritise the saving money benefit over weight loss. But the message is still clear enough.
