@The_TimTim Ellis 🦝 I feel like the real joke is that the sign says "forbidden for bicycles" :)

@mariusormarius Having not been to Europe myself I assumed (as I'm guessing the artist did) that it would need a line through it to indicate forbidden. I have now looked this up and realized that white background, red circle = forbidden, while blue background, white circle = only this type allowed.

Guess the artist should have inverted the sign. Here, I fixed it.

A black & white New Yorker style single-panel comic, showing two women riding bicycles along a dedicated bicycle path (corrected signage) over a canal that is bordered by trees and walking paths beside buildings.

The woman in front is looking back toward the woman behind, and the caption says "If anyone proposed this in my town I'd kill them."

signed by Gabrielle Drolet + Jack Haven (best guess)
