Cycling car stickers

Right

As some will know, I am a mild-mannered, even tempered and moderate-viewed sort.

What I want is an antidote to those hateful "I slow down for horses/my dog is my life, not for Xmas/(driver with the mind of a) baby on board" stickers

Any amusing cyclist friendly ones out there? I already have a Darwin Fish to annoy the bible myopics...:D

Am I doing this right?

I believe "share the road" and "think bike" type stickers exist, but - you yourself said you hate "I slow down for horses" stickers: being honest, what makes you think anyone else would have any other reaction to a moralising cycling sticker?

If you're going down that route, just get something that commemorates something you personally find awesome about cycling. Maybe a ride you've done, a ride you want to do - but something that, whenever you see the sticker, makes you happy.

That's probably the closest thing you can do to making the roads a better place, anyway - reminding people that you can, if you want, choose to be a person who uses whatever form of transport they damn well want to, because it gives them pleasure to do so - and that that's far better than being "a motorist" or "a cyclist".

Edit: for a fun PS, consider that bumper stickers don't always convey what they say they are conveying.

How about one that says,"I don't pay road tax either". Many cyclists will get the sentiment but it'll annoy the uneducated motorists.

life is a game - cycling is serious

You make a strong and valid point. Fair enough, I shall be more tolerant of walking lasagnes in future

I have long contemplated designing and printing a sticker for cyclists to carry; it would say

"Dear Police - I drive my car while holding my mobile phone and often cause danger to cyclists and other road users - please arrest me now!"

I could then just pop one of those on the rear bumper or boot lid of every car that goes past me with a driver either talking or texting on the 'phone, and see what happens.

I would need as lot of them though - a pannier's worth!

It's a bit wordy for a sticker but I like the idea. This could be another way to attract attention and get the message across.

If I was on my bike I'd be much easier to overtake.

It would require driving everywhere at ~12mph to have maximal impact though...
