The front "100% Biodiesel"
the back "10% less emmissions (and a big arrow pointed south)"

im really working on a gas shirt i just cant quite figure out how to word it im thinking

"oh did gas prices go up?" on the front
"tired of gas prices?" front "ride a bike" on back
"who's poor now?" on front with a gas price sign in the back ground

or maybe "it just coast you $3 to yell at me"

I saw a great shirt the other day on someone at my local organic food co-op, it might be a shirt they make for the employees, I don't know. Anyways, no clue what's on the front, the back is:

LIVE TO BIKE
EAT TO LIVE
WORK TO EAT
BIKE TO WORK

not original if you were to make it, but I still think it's damn good.

How about something like:

"Fuel should taste good."
Maybe a graphic of someone sucking on a gas pump, or a biker eating something.

I think it would sound better the other way around, myself:

BIKE TO WORK
WORK TO EAT
EAT TO LIVE
LIVE TO BIKE

It makes more sense that way.

I disagree that it sounds better, I may agree that it makes more sense. Your way each word is said twice in sequence, "bike to work work to eat eat to live live to bike". Also, I like how the last thing said in the original is "bike to work" - the ultimate solution. Your version may work better with five lines:

BIKE
WORK
EAT
LIVE
BIKE

with "to" midline between each word "bike to work to eat to live to bike"

I LOVE the Price of Gas Tee and will contact you to get one. I do think you should up the number some but if you don't I think it will send the message anyway. Thanks

Nice, I Love #3 BURN FAT, NOT GAS it sends a nice message just like the Price of Gas Tee Shirt. I hope the shirts are avalable in bigger sizes. I am losing weight with Weight Watchers and Biking but I still take a 3X.

I don't mean to send anyone off to someplace else, but here is a place that has something similar to a very early description:

Ride a bike, you'll save on gas and can skip the tanning bed.

Why I ride a bike reason 309, at least both of my arms are tan! (used that line once, people actually started putting their arms together to see if they were uneven)

oh and cabana4life, did you get my pix?

I don't find it the least bit offensive, and I agree with the message, although in a way it comes across as a bit defensive, as if we have to somehow justify our riding to other people. Personally, I'd be more likely to buy it if it just had the front message, or maybe if the front said "I ride..." and the back said "...because I choose to"
