I loved the one about bike paths today!! My Commuting Meetup is deeply engaged in a message thread about the old bike lane/path vs. VC debate and it was just so relevant.
Everyone I know who sees the strip says Yehuda looks like me, except I wear glasses. And a helmet (usually).

I too love the cartoon. I visited your referenced site. I am amazed. We cyclists as a group are insane. B bike commute and ride for fun on the weekends in the 'burbs of California. A lot of the suggestions on that forum would get me killed in a day if I tried them here. Maybe they work in cities, or Portland.
)I'm not clear what exactly amazed you. The VC suggestions on the bike lane thread we have going, or other material on the site in general? I'm a fairly VC rider myself, and yes, I think it does work pretty well in Portland, Maine. Where, by the way, we do not have a lot of bike-specific infrastructure, which is why I learned to ride in traffic pretty much from the start. But I'm at a disadvantage in that this is the only place I've ever ridden frequently, so I can't speak to the experience in other places. I'm told it is not as good.

No thread hijacking. This is the Yehuda thread.

Just ordered my shirt! Keep up the good work on the strip, I enjoy the multiple story lines running through it (kind of like real life!).
I turned my wife on to the strip, she's hooked now too.

At the risk of being thought a thread hijacker, I'd like to point out I've been animated. Can I make a guest appearance in the strip? :-)

I liked it. The ones about painting/repainting the lanes and signs hit home. I've often thought of doing that.
Keep it up.

I want to do a strip (or series of strips) where Yehuda subversively slaps a bumper sticker on cars that harass him on his commute... but I don't know what to put on the stickers. I suppose those stickers would be what I add to the shop.
Some ideas:
I (heart) bicycles
I have road rage
?

I find the Joe character really hilarious. I like how many of the scenarios are relatable.

I put the "And miss this" strip about riding in the snow up in my cubicle. I'm often over prepared and disappointed when mother nature wimps out.

Love the strip and have been reading since you first started talking about it here on the forums. I like the shirts but haven't bought one yet. I'd really like one that just had the Yehuda drawing on the front with the website address on the back across the shoulders (or now that I think about it, vice versa).
I know you're not taking requests, so just my $.02. Keep up the good work, can't wait to read the comic every day.

Just saw the pics you attached of the strip in progress. Those are great, wouldn't mind seeing more.

(I'm highly critical, and don't give out praise often)
Your strip is f-in' brilliant.

Rick --
Here's my idea for a punchline. Someone asks the mayor why they painted over the bike lanes, because they were so much better placed than all the other ones in town, even if the lines weren't straight.
The mayor responds, "well, it never occurred to us to ask a cyclist where they should go."
