Colonialism by Bike!

"I need to get my oppression on. Where are those natives?"


I love this poster! Thanks to Neal-ZH over on chifg.com (the Chicago fixed-gear message board) for finding a whole bunch of vintage bike poster images online. This isn't necessarily the best looking, but I think it's hilarious. "As used by our colonial overseers." What a selling point! Actually, I have no idea what the text at the bottom says, but if any of our Dutch readers (I see you, Nijmegen!) could drop me a line with a translation, that would be great.

[edit] Apparently, the poster says "In use by the Dutch and Dutch Indian army." Thanks, Tom!
