I would be much more in to bike forums jerseys rather than t-shirts... the last thing I need is another cotton t-shirt... plus we would have an excuse to wear matching jerseys. Anyways, my idea I just thought of for the design... it seems everybody and their dog has thought about using a cog, and its become pretty clicheed. So why not combine it with another overused cliche (albeit still cool) image: Hokusai's Great Wave. I can't really portray it in paintbrush at work, but what I envision would be a cog unrolling into a curl like a wave. You could also incorporate other things like a chain to accentuate the movement, or little cycling dudes trying to escape the cogwave and then the text. Either that or my other idea was just an old school graffiti throw-up tag filling the chain paralellogram shape of a fixed drivetrain. Lets hear some interesting ideas here
