Billboard edited

Gas or Green?
I stumbled upon this billboard while surfing the web. At first, i didn’t get it or see the big deal, but then I noticed the fake spokes on the 76 logo and realized some vandals were sending a message. Not a bad rendering of a bike with what looks like black spray paint. As a designer, I would have elected to not paint the spokes on the front wheel of bike or logo, which i think would have made it even more believable. Whether you agree with using automobiles (oil & gas) or a bicycle (very green using exercise), this image is very clever and probably not the way the original creator or company planned. Which would you prefer, free gas for life from 76 or saving your world by riding your bike everywhere?
