I think it's a clever idea...some details to work out, reminds me of the "Flat Stanley" project kids do at school...

I think if would be cooler if you gave it to an out-of-town rider, or while on an out-of-town ride. It should work off the 6 degrees theory and it would be interesting to see where it goes.

It'd be cool if each person who passed it on loosely zip-tied a little plastic tag w/ their name or message on the bracelet... eventually it'd be covered w/ tags of all the people who wore it. (Can you say Purel?)

Not to mention, aren't you going to quickly run out of space for initials?

Plus, the just giving it to someone and seeing where it ends up (each person can tell the next person to send you an e-mail or something) is much cooler.
And it's kinda hard to write small in a permanent marker.

Or the OP could set up a website and write it on the bracelet so each recipient can leave a post with that information.

I'm in. Whatever format it takes, I'll get involved. If we stick to handing it in person to each other, then I'll be in Newport Beach last two weeks August 2010 (on a hired cruiser so not many miles!)...
Otherwise, using airmail doesn't bother me.
