A shameless plug for Roll Resistance...

Did you receive a little present from a concerned citizen recently? He or she may have wanted to remind you that your choice to block a bike lane was unsafe and probably illegal. Parking in, double parking in, or otherwise blocking a designated bicycle passageway forces cyclists (and others using this lane) to ride into the street, possibly blocking traffic and placing the cyclist in harm's way.
Think: car moving at 45 mph and bike moving at 10 mph. What fun! Bike lanes are there for a reason. Please be respectful in the future.
Ride/drive/walk safe.

This is amazing! We have pieces of paper in Atlanta to stick on windshields, but stickers are so much better--and slightly more permanent (grin).

i dig the idea a lot, i added you on myspace but forgot to sign off of one of the work accounts so if you want to receive updates about our monthly party shirts and skins keep that as a friend, if not delete it

Yeah, they've been around for a while [the stickers] - over 3 years....
Most the shops listed on the site carry full stocks. Spread the word and maybe the cops will start penalizing drivers more!

Well, since Philly is only 99 miles away, we may be able to work something out. Shops need to contact IPIABL to get stocks and shipping arrangements can be made. Requests have come in from Aus and EU as well....

You call the advocacy? You think people parking in bike lanes really care what you think? It reeks of self-righteousness more than anything. People defend their right to blow stopsigns and run red lights around here---- then turn around with this Dudley-Do-Right crap? I really don't get it.

Word. My girl doesn't ride as agressively as me, or as fast usually, and I don't necesarily want her doing the stupid **** I tend to do when I'm by myself, and even if she's capable, one person having a close call with a car would often mean the person following either gets hit, or has to stop.

but since that isn't true (and I'm one of these cyclists), then these sticker campaigns carry no weight.
