The 50's look of the CLTCL video. There was a strong motor cycle culture in the uk in the 50's, 60's and 70's. Connected to Rock N'roll and later Heavy Rock.
The black leather look of that video reflected that. Hence JD's T Shirt

John Deacons' t-shirt from The Game era has the printing, "Bike it." What does it mean?
PS! I'm not from England.
If I remember correctly, it was the logo for a British campaign to encourage people to cycle instead od driving. I think there was an oil shortage at the time but could be wrong...
My cousin was their lighting director in the late 70's and when he was shown a photo of Deacy in that shirt Joe laughed and said, "he doesn't even own a bike."

You are correct it was heavily promoted in the UK at the time
Weeheeheelll let's see. It has two words. One has the word "it" in it" and they have a song that is called "Fun It" oh no! No chance of all of it having anything to do with that along with mixing "Bicycle Race" with it I'm sure.
Your wrong, bike it was def a pro cycling campaign. badges and shirts with bike it written on them were made. And partly because if an oil shortage hence why vinyl got much thinner! Nothing to do with fun it!
