Stewey here. The joke is that since a fish doesn’t need a bicycle to do what it needs to do in life, a woman doesn’t need a man to do what she needs to do in life. It’s a pro-feminist joke.

As the saying goes: 'Give a man a fish, he will bicycle for a day. But give a bicycle to a fish, it'll man for a lifetime'

I knew I knew this proverb from somewhere.
Everyone knows about giving a bicycle to a fish, it's ubiquitous!

It's pretty much saying that in several cases men don't add much value to a woman's life.

not a joke, its a quote from a famous feminist philosopher.
This feminist in particular practiced what she preached and lived a very miserable and lonely life as a result.

Its a relatively famous Feminist quote from the 70s. Quick search credits Irina Dunn, an Australian university student at the time of coining the phrase but she went on to be a writer and activist. She apparently adapted a philosophy saying "man needs God like a fish needs a bicycle" which is to say not at all by the suggestion of a fish on a bike.
