How about this (change the prices as you wish)

Commuter bike - $300
Safety equipment and clothing - $100

Passing every gas station I'll ever see - Priceless

" I am two tired to work"

This is my favorite so far. Nothing like a little to humor to disarm our four wheeled friends. Extra large, please.

Argg, I can't believe I didn't notice the clever word play. I am so used to seeing blatant disregard for spelling and grammar on the internet that I just assumed it was a typo. This one is quite great.

Last night at the ***** tonk a guy had a shirt that read "Let Those Who Ride Decide". It really stirred me. Turns out it's a slogan associated with ABATE, who lobby for motorcycling without helmets.

Bikes: 1988 Specialized Rockhopper Comp, converted for touring/commuting. 1984 Raleigh Team USA road bike.

Most of these are really good. I also like the 3FT MIN or Work to Live, Live to Bike, Bike to Work.

I had a shirt that said Share the Road. I actually had someone slow way down to give me the International Sign and yelled F*** Y***. I yelled back "nice language!

Count me in!

For some reason I don't like this one, kinda like the underdog saying to the bully: "mommy says we should share"

But it is a fact just about every driver needs to be aware of

I think this is a very important sentiment, and a strong argument against the "one less car" slogan.

I like this, and I really, really like the "BICYCLES ALLOWED USE OF FULL LANE" sign as on this sfbikes t-shirt -- I found an Advocacy forum thread where folks were talking about this (but t-shirts, not coolmax/jerseys)

Thread: https://www.bikeforums.net/archive/in...p/t-93774.html

Sfbike shirt: https://www.sfbike.org/?store_shirts

The only downside of that is that it might be too California-specific -- but the message is pretty universal, even if the jurisdiction isn't. Anything more than about 5 words and it'll be hard to see.

Thanks for this pointer -- this looks perfect. They only show price breaks up to "16 or more" but maybe if there's 50+ they'd do something additional. I'll mail 'em and see what they say.

Bikes: many bikes

Bike to Work, the real IT diet. .

Caution: Having fun on way to work.

The "like my legs?" is funny, but I see too many honks.

So are the slogans going up for a vote first? No matter the outcome, count me in.

Sad to say, but most people around me wouldn't understand "I am two tired to work"

. . . they would simply say, "So why are you biking to work?" LOL : )

I'm for pretty much any slogan, i don't mind the political ones ( I kinda encourage them, but I understand that not all of us here do) We should have a vote soon, and maybe have the top two jerseys printed. I think there is enough people here to cover the printing of two shirts. I'd probably get both : )

What about . . .

"Don't Pollute on Your Commute" !!!!!!!

---It's pretty neutral and gets the point across with view words : )

While I'd like to support it, I probably wouldn't buy one as when I commute I have a bag that covers my back. Oh well.

How about "I am two tired to work" in the front and "My wife got the car" in the back?
I'd buy that...

Yes I would buy. Bright and reflective please. I like ”<-- 3ft MIN” and “Work to live, live to bike, bike to work” and "Share the Roads: Same Roads, Same Rights, Same Rules". All are good. How about “I move left for horns”.

I do web work and some graphics for a guy that does silkscreening if you need someone to do it. Personally I like the following design:

I Like the
POLICE

On a bright Yellow shirt they would think you were the real thing until they had already gave you safe passing distance and speed and then it would be too late to be rude! Hahahhahahahhaha

Oh! and the front would read-


!REKCUS

I don't need to antagonize people. As it is, some folks feel like it's their right or 'duty' to be rude, obnoxious, or intimidating towards cyclists. No sense egging them on.

The front message was more of a joke really, I am a firm believer in the first rule of motorcycle riding (as my friend who had been riding many years taught me) - Never make a person in a bigger vehicle than you mad. A better slogan for the front might be,

sknaht
rof
gnissap
ylefas
