quickerbybike car stickers?
It might sound daft but a car sticker delivers the message to just the same place that a logo on a bum does. Stickers are a bit cheaper than shorts. So stickers mean the message gets delivered to the right place a lot more often.
Vote for your slogan of choice before we get them produced. Any feedback or abuse gratefully received.
It's worth considering that the quickerbybike.com logo already conveys a lot of the message, so we don't want to duplicate that in the sticker slogan.
Shortlist:
"Life is short. Clock is ticking." quickerbybike.com
"Traffic is more fun on a bike." quickerbybike.com
"I would be there by now if I had cycled" quickerbybike.com
"I'm not having any fun" quickerbybike.com
"Why aren't I on my bike?" quickerbybike.com
"I wish I were on my bike." quickerbybike.com

How long can you go without re-fuelling?
I confess I have a car. However, I'm trying to abandon it. The last time I went to use it, the handbrake was rusted on so now I leave it off.
Two things are driving me to ditch my car. The first is a childish and geeky sort of competition I'm having with myself to see how long I can go without having to stand guiltily at a petrol station, pumping fuel into the thing. I filled it on Monday 29th September - anyone wanna compete with me for the longest interval before re-filling?
The second reason is a genuine reluctance to be in a car. I feel such an idiot these days when I find myself either stuck in traffic or spending £50 on fuel. In fact even a hassle-free car jouney feels wasteful to me these days. Plus I properly enjoy being on trains and busses.
I hope someone will compete with me on the fuel thing.

Talk to red-light jumpers?
My normal commute is out from town but sometimes, like yesterday, I ride towards town with all the other cycle commuters.
If you think other riders are riding badly, you should go and talk to them, I reckon.
I hollered at 6 riders yesterday who'd run red lights. I also made a point of catching up with, patting on the back and chatting to two guys.
It's always going to be difficult because nobody likes being preached to / told they're wrong but I think you have to have a go.
Be super friendly about it but say something. Shout something if you have to, even if it's only "red light!" Best to avoid "red light *!#*" as that's not very constructive.
Anyone agree? There is a dearth of comments to these threads. Leggy, any do-gooding on your commute?
