Iran is to start manufacturing “Islamic bicycles” for women that conceals their figure, the government newspaper Iran reported yesterday.
Iranian Allahfish are reported to have a need for them, too.| Gloria Steinem could not be reached for comment. |
“This bike has a cabin which conceals half of the cyclist’s body,” the newspaper said.
Conceal if you want, but gents can guess what the ladies are sitting on.
Elaheh Sofali, an architect of the project, told Iran it would encourage womenÂ’s sports in the Islamic Republic.
"Mom! I gonna go out and right my bike for awhile!"
"Are you taking your Islamic bike, that hides you from the world from the belly button down?"
"Yep."
"Good girl."
"I'm taking my vibrator too!"
"Good idea. You'll never get any privacy at home!"
Faezeh Hashemi, a daughter of former president Akbar Hashemi Rafsanjani, was instrumental in encouraging women to take to the saddle in the 1990s when she was in charge of womenÂ’s participation in the Olympics. But she was opposed by Islamic hardliners.
"Nope. Nope. Can't have any of that!" |
