The nature and occupation of dog breeders can be identified by the dog that lives with them, motorists - by the car they drive, and cyclists - by the two-wheeled vehicle of their choice. This visual incarnations of stereotypes dedicated to a series of works from a graphic designer Cyclemon, named by the author You are what you ride.
This year will host the 100th Tour de France, the most famous cycling competition in the world. Paradoxically, this does not mean that she is one hundred years old - the first race took place in 1903, and during the First and Second World Wars, no competitions were held.
This anniversary without an anniversary is dedicated to a series of posters from the artist Cyclemon, entitled You are what you ride (You are what you ride). In it, the author presented more than a dozen of the most common types of bicycles, giving each of them the characteristics of the person who uses them.
For example, a housewife rides a pink bicycle decorated with flowers, who is not averse from time to time to show others her claws. Depending on the modification, a bike with different wheels can be ridden by either a cyclist or a hipster.
A bike with a luggage rack is made for travelers, a children's bike, however obvious, is for children, and an exercise bike is for people who want to feel like cyclists, but, in fact, are not.
Of course, Cyclemon's entire You are what you ride graphic poster series is a collection of cartoons poking fun at stereotypes. But every joke, as you know, has a significant grain of truth!
