Advocacy & Safety - Need bike / fanny sign ideas

OK people, I'd like to mount a flexible sign on my bike or fanny to put inspiration signs on my butt for the cagers out there. I'm thinking of flexible whiteboard material with a buckle waist-strap, and trim it with reflective tape. Any other ideas?

BURN FAT NOT OIL

GASOLINE PRICES?

MY BIKE GETS 60 MPG OF WATER

OBESITY IS NOT AN OPTION

BIKING BETTER THAN MEDS, SURGERY

ASK ME HOW TO RIDE TO WORK

"I AM NOT WORTH 100 POINTS"

;)

purchase one of those clear plastic map holders sold for motorcycles. they usually have velcro on the back for adherance to the tankbag. you could probably sew (or get mom/wife/gf to do it if you don't sew) a belt loop of two onto it and use a race belt to keep it on.

Then you can change signs as your mood dictates...

I PAY TAXES TOO

DO NOT SQUISH (add a pictogram)

MORE FIT = MORE SEX (this oughta convert a few)

Be part of the SOLUTION...NOT the POLLUTION!

Driving got you down? Try a bike!

Bike Rage? Never heard of it.

I'd rather fix a flat than be FAT!

The tires on your vehicle are equal or greater to the ones behind your belt!

Trim yourself and your budget... Ride a Bike!

Trust me...MY driving isn't hurting the roads!

More bikes = less construction! Think about it!

Think Different... Ride a Bike!

Is your car your second home? Break free ride a bike!

Some say cars = freedom... reality says cars = slavary

Free more than just your mind.... ride a bike.

Bikes don't kill animals....CARS do!

I may post some more...but those are the ones I came up with.

Peace,

:)

If you are geek-inclined, this LED scrolling display (http://www.batteryspace.com/index.asp?PageAction=VIEWPROD&ProdID=1147) might be a possible solution for a rolling message board. Of course you need a 12-volt power source like a SLA battery.

Not sprinters, they can't keep it up for very long.

You know, where I ride that's far more appropriate than that other thing which comes to mind.

Tell the world what you think


John Bell of Nyx Illuminated Clothing simply needed to walk down the aisles of the trade show to catch attention. It wasn't really Bell that drew stares, but his jacket. The darn thing features a programmable display on the back upon which one can flash messages, images or even a sound-responsive light show.

Still in the prototype stage, the jacket's display can be programmed via a handheld computer. Currently, the system requires a user to connect via a USB port, but production models will feature Bluetooth wireless. Unfortunately, the display is hard to photograph, so you will have to take our word for how cool it is.

Once beyond the prototype stage, the jacket will probably retail in the $200 to $300 range. Bell says that messages of infinite complexity can be loaded into the jacket, meaning that we will have little or no trouble typing in our favorite message to motorists: "Put down the coffee, hang up the phone and DRIVE!"

The technology can be used in all sorts of clothing and Bell is already manufacturing items with small displays like armbands. Some have already suggested using the display in the back windows of their cars... mmmm. It does send the imagination reeling, eh?

Either a "Slow Vehicle" triangle, or (my inclination)
the word "FRAGILE" in large red/white letters.

I considered "If you hit me, you better kill me" but thought that some drivers around here would take that as a challenge.

Dude! When I first moved here, I felt menaced by the drivers in the capital of the 'Have a Nice Day' state, and that was in my own car! :eek:

PainTrain, don't get me started on Sactown drivers. Why is it so hard to understand that when you get to the end of the on-ramp, you better be doing 55mph! And when you're making a left, pull out into the intersection so other people can turn too!

An idea from this morning's ride:

"Turn signals, not telepathy!"

"Got Traffic??"

The left lane is for passing.... please do so with care

This is my road too....but I'm willing to share

I'm commuting, not polluting

how about this: ------------------------------------------------------------------------>

I like this one best so far.

I like mine. Get some exercise, ride a cyclist.

I'm gonna get that put on a jersey though. I should probably copyright that.. Some sleazeball might steal it..

O_O Shh! hahaha...

I saw this today:

If it's not fun why are you doing it?

"PUT THE FUN BETWEEN YOUR LEGS"

"MY BIKE TAKES ME PLACES SCHOOL NEVER COULD"

"MY OTHER CAR ISN'T A CAR EITHER"

these are a few we've used as patches and stickers.

YOUR AD HERE

<-- I'M WITH STUPID

if you ride on the right side that is.

obviously...

BY-PASS

Peter,

I think you might have a good idea here. Come up with some sort of holder with a plastic window that allows you to switch out messages. The holder should connect to various parts of bicycles (seatpost, rack, etc) for maximum versatility & number of potential purchasers. The license plate holder thingy is a good idea for starters-every bike needs one, doesn't it? Then, take all of the ideas here and have them printed on something like cardboard or plastic that is rigid (use both sides). Then offer the entire package with 100 quotes. Sell your product to QBP and let them distribute it to all of the bike shops.

I suppose my concern is that it is a bit of a wind blocker, but if mounted properly and since it's behind the rider, it shouldn't be that big of a problem.

Here's an addition: "i DO look good in spandex"
