POV: The chain fell off and your face (one side of it, at least) plummet towards the dirt.

For being mandatory where I live, it sure is odd literally no one decided to draw some reflectors on the spokes.

[–] thermal_shock@lemmy.world 5 points 2 days ago

You can understand it's a bike without those. Like a stick figure, no eyes or nose are necessary for you to know what it is.

The style is called Recumbent. Specifically, long wheel base above seat steering.

Dude. I can’t draw a bicycle while looking at it.

[–] DeathByBigSad@sh.itjust.works 13 points 2 days ago (4 children)

Lmao, I can't draw.

But: Now I know these comments are real people. (Or are they? 🧐)

Dr Seuss ass bike

[–] Humanius@lemmy.world 3 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

The only way in which we will know these people are real is if they are able to draw hands perfectly

[–] Zwuzelmaus@feddit.org 3 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Nice, it has a handle on top for throwing it far away ;-)

[–] moondoggie@lemmy.world 5 points 2 days ago

Handle? That’s the propeller.

I cannot prove I didnt cheat..

Also, sorry for the fat-fingered quality.
I drew this on my phone

[–] psx_crab@lemmy.zip 7 points 2 days ago

A little bit more practice and you'll be qualified to draw the icon for bike path.

[–] NeedyPlatter@lemmy.ca 7 points 2 days ago

Here's my very sleep deprived rendition, enjoy.

This one feels like it's in motion. It's cool.

[–] cepelinas@sopuli.xyz 9 points 2 days ago

I was on the phone so forgive me for my terrible drawing.

[–] spykee@lemmings.world 7 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

Sketch of a bicycle

Take some bloody notes, Michelangelo di Lodovico!
Quit drawing titties & dicks & learn some art....and bring that boy Leonardo so that he learns something as well.
Kids these days!

Left-facing and spray-painted. Really throwing a curveball here.

[–] hungryphrog@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 2 days ago

I used the pencil tool on my phone.

[–] SkaraBrae@lemmy.world 7 points 2 days ago
[–] owsei@programming.dev 5 points 2 days ago

My version: Digitally drawn white bike drawn on black background, with chain, handlebar, breaks, seat and pedals

My gf's: Black bike, with seat, handlebar and the chain's wheel, on white background drawn with pencil on paper

I should have used a pencil but:

[–] overat8@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

black background and a white illustration of a simple bicycle sketch

Luckily for me, I’m had experience on servicing a mountain bike before so that I know what a bike should look like. I could’ve done a better job by adding the disc brakes and rear derailleur. But I couldn’t be bothered to since illustrating on a phone screen is tough :/.

[–] ivanafterall@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago

Really nice. After seeing all of the good ones you guys did, I think my bikes will be better in the future. Start with two triangles, bike is on the middle triangle line, etc...

[–] BuboScandiacus@mander.xyz 5 points 2 days ago

And kids, this is why AIs halucinate things
