Tumbleweed Posted October 21, 2009 Posted October 21, 2009 In a bid to ease tensions between Toronto motorists and cyclists, a group representing the biking community is printing thousands of "thank you" cards for distribution to drivers who are courteous on the road.http://www.thestar.com/news/gta/transportation/article/712220--cyclists-make-nice-to-drivers
Captain Slow Posted October 21, 2009 Posted October 21, 2009 What a great gesture!! OK, I need to find sponsors to print some flyers. Then we will hit themajor intersections, preferably on busy training routes, on a Sat &Sun in full cycling gear and hand out Thank You flyers. HR, can you help with creating the wording for this flyer? jeremyd & others in the print industry, can you donate some 'cheap' flyers?
Kansas Posted October 21, 2009 Posted October 21, 2009 Very good idea, I'll come from the states just to help on this.

Gasping Posted October 21, 2009 Posted October 21, 2009 I am in Benoni as well. Pity, with us handing out fliers we might have gotten a sponsorship from Western Flier if they were still in operation.
cat-i Posted October 21, 2009 Posted October 21, 2009 a big smile and a wave goes a long way. a colleague arrived at work the other day grinning about having givven way to a cyclist, and the cyclist's reaction - just grinning & waving won a lot of goodwill.
linnega Posted October 21, 2009 Posted October 21, 2009 I assume you just hand out flyers randomly, as it would take many rides to get courtesy sufficient to warrant a smile/thank you.
