Is there anywhere else you can get the stickers? Would happily hand them out to customers in the bike shop I help out at on weekends.

The stickers are available in the January edition of Bicycling magazine.

i hesitate to suggest this - but anyone think of calling CSA?

 

Hahahahaha!

 

That's like voting for GeorgeW twice! Thanks, but no thanks.

Those bikes shouldn't be on the road… whistling.gif

 

What? A lot of 29ers have wide bars, and they're the perfect SA road bikes!

 

haha! ok, but on a serious note... this 1.5m campaign is a worthy cause. As much as blame can fly back and forth between motorists passing too close, and cyclists riding 5 abreast... things need to change here in SA.

 

Here's what I noticed in France on the narrow, twisty alpine roads (and yes, I was on a DH bike with 780mm bars).

  • riders stick to single file
  • motorists drive behind cyclists until they feel it is safe enough to pass
  • when they pass they change lanes (like one would when overtaking another car), no passing super close to the rider so as to scare him
  • there was no hooting. No matter how long the traffic was behind a cyclist
  • there was no giving of "the bird" by the cyclists

I felt safe riding on the roads there!

This is a PPA initiative so you can contact them via their website and arrange as many stickers as you need.: www.pedalpower.org.za

 

Thank heavens for this bloke. That was like pulling teeth or something.

Nope. I do not have one. The yellow does not go well with my car... and I do not like stickers on my car in any case... Maybe a visually more appealing, reflective at night one could do. Maybe just the outlines for on the rear window? Its a little higher than the bumper... Like those my family stickers?

Ditto. I do have a teeny oval Campag sticker on the back window though. If you didn't know it was there, you'd miss it.
