That's a lousy attempt at drawing a rooster!
For the modern man who lives in the city, riding a bike might be one of the only ways to escape the humdrum monotony. To take off and ride. To be both at one with nature and one with the bike. To feel masculine. Adam Piggott

I can see a very good reason here for Optus to change their catchphrase from 'Yes!' to 'NO!'

Last update was about 2 hours ago, so he should be within an hour or so from arriving at The Alice

Now 3 hours since last reported location. Must be close to Alice Springs by my reckoning?
