I preferred the pool noodle with "I have coronavirus" painted on it version.

They could go to a bit more effort tho.  That thing doesn't even have Bluetooth...

(To be briefly serious, I did at one point have reason to travel by bicycle carrying a long poster tube, and after a couple of attempts to bungee it to the toptube in a way that didn't interfere with pedalling, decided sod it and strapped it across the rear rack in that style.  The effect was the sort of room you get when riding a recumbent trike, and - as I discovered slightly too late - similar issues with narrow gaps between bollards.)

I would sponsor the flame thrower for sure  ;D (but frankly, it is extremely extremely rare that I get passed close enough to make me swear)
