the guy behind the chainwheel tattoo project has a ring with a heart too, but it's from a schwinn sweetheart:

i wouldn't be so impressed IMHO. unless the person gave consent or something. inspiration > copying

I recommend either:

Mi vivas rajdi

or

B.U.A. (bicycles uber alles)

Of course these would only be meaningful to hardcore geeks.

The hearts make up a pentagram, they surround a circular piece of metal, take away the hearts, no pentagram its just an accidental added feature
