[A cartoon of shoppers piled on one another climbs a pennant-shaped banner. Six bicycles are drawn in a three-by-two grid, each with its code at the top left; then a row of four drawings (a basket, a side-saddle basket, a combination lock and a padlock) and a row of four more (a wagon, a football, roller skates and a lunch kit).]
