My initial thoughts are that it sounds a fitting thing to do.

I did think of a minute's silence on Sunday; although this could be
misconstrued as just another p*****re; I'll be riding a reliability
trial along similar roads. But a black armband will convey the same
message. Nice idea.

No-one has done a black wristband as far as I know. Perhaps a good long
term way of registering a protest against the toll of cyclists on the road.

Black has already been done with the "livewrong" wristband
(http://www.play.com/play247.asp?pa=stts5&page=title&r=GADG&title=

this group would concur with its sentiments.

The tragedy in Wales received such large coverage becasue it was rare
enough to be news. Wearing black wristbands, armbands, or whatever,
will convice people that it is normal.

Unfortunately:

"There are already several companies specializing in anti-wristband
wristbands, including Archie McPhee & Co., which sells black bands that
feature the seven deadly sins, along with the words APATHY and NIHILISM."

Actually, the current Archie McPhee deadly sin bands aren't black
(although I'm pretty sure they used to have black ones):

The "LiveWrong" band is black.

The "despair" one is particularly appropriate.

See my other post (which I sent before reading yours) - the seven deadly
sins ones come in assorted colours, but there are "bleak" ones that come
in black and white.

Archie McPhee has some other great stuff, too - such as bacon air
fresheners and smoking baby dolls.

I don't know. You can order it from McPhee online but have to place a
minimum order of $50 for delivery overseas. Mind you, I could easily
find $50 worth of stuff I want on that site... just look at the Avenging
Unicorn Play Set, for example - how great is that?
