  1. Have seen heard the ones like:

    "No iraqis were killed to fuel this bike"
    (or something like that...)

    "Burn Fat, not Oil"
    (a BV one apparently)

    "we ARE the traffic"
    (Tshirts worn by first CM ride in SanFran)

    "One less car"

    Howzabout:

    "0 litres/100km"

    "We arent the problem.
    We are the SOLUTION"

    "Imagine if everyone
    owned a car what a
    smelly, dirty, archaic
    world it would be!
    Oh, hang on... IT IS!!!"

    (homage some dude on UK-C+ forum)

    "The word 'obese' has
    4 four round shapes in it.
    So does a car!"

    "Last year there were twice as many bicycles produced and sold than cars, so dont tell me to get out of YOUR way 😠 "

    "Ever wondered why realestate prices
    on main roads are so low?
    Well, it aint cos BIKES stink!"

    " George Bush is powered by Oil.
    His bike isnt. That's why it threw him off!!! "

    "Keeping me safer, by risking your life" or "Sorry - was

    both to be stuck on the back of over-sized urban 4WD, with
    the (fictional) Sydney Urban 4WD Club logo and the motto "I
    drive badly and I vote"

    They're too long (except the first couple). Stickers have to

    Excuse my top posting but .....

    I think anything the RTA do for cycling is political
    propaganda. The biggest one is sponsoring the Bike NSW bike
    ride. In itself the event is a wonderful thing and has got a
    lot of people onto bikes. At the same time by sponsoring it
    it lets the RTA off the hook for doing any thing productive
    for cyclists.

    My understanding is that they put money towards Bike NSW,
    they match councles funds for the building of cyclepaths and
    the cyclepath/brakedown line along the M* roads is very
    usefull as well.

    Not that I am aware of. That would raise strong ethical
    questions if they did.

    Quoted message said:

    Yes,but unfortunately, they are not very discriminating on
    what they fund,
    e.g. from my LGA ; basic line marking subsidised as bike
    lane marking ; bicycle lane on downhill side of bridge
    is really a pedestrian bridge to car parking from
    major sports ground (there is no uphill bicycle lane
    on other side)

    Quoted message said:

    and the cyclepath/brakedown line along the M* roads is
    very usefull as well.

    This is co-incidental as the major benefit of that
    "breakdown lane" is to help preserve the road surface when
    cars wobble out of the lane. If it wasn't there, then major
    pot holes would be along the edge.
