Also get a free sticker of the same when renewing licences and perhaps over time, people will get the message that a cyclist is as viable as a commuter, traveller etc as those in cars. I'd be proud to stick one on my car. It would be good cheap advertising which might eventually sink in!! DJ |

ACT rego stickers had "Look for Cyclists" on the back/inside for 2 years - just last year changed to "Speeding Kills", BANG, 2 speeding tickets. I guess such things don't work! -- |

Could it be that our trip was assisted by the fact that the signs subliminally reminded motorists that cyclists were on the road? If that is the case, a sticker on a car would probably have the same result wouldn't it? It's a free memory jogger. my 2c worth. regards, Andrew http://www.geocities.com/andrewhook...cleTouring.html |
