I agree...those attachments on the hood they put you on.....real uncomfortable....especially when the car is going 100 on the motorway

The 4WD-drivingBraindeadMoron who tried to squish me this morning (stuck his indicator on and changed lanes on me without looking) certainly wasn't Biker Aware. In fact, he needed a BikerAwareBootInTheBalls to wake him up.

I was watching him carefully, and stuck my thumb on the horn button as soon as he started to move, and also slowed down and moved left. However, by the time he realised the pathetic squeaking was coming from the space he was moving into, I'd almost run out of lane.

Perhaps a Biker Aware sticker nailed to his forehead would help?

Definitely a good idea. I've been wanting something like this for a while.

Back in Aussie the Motorcycle Riders Association (MRA) sold stickers with their logo and the words, "Volvo Aware Rider." Fearing my wife would get the doors of the Volvo kicked in as random payback, I rearranged the sticker to say, "Rider Aware Volvo" and put it on the back of the car. After that, she'd get passing riders slow down and give her a thumbs up - and she could then check out the bikes, too.

Then there were the bikers that changed the sticker to say, "Vulva Aware Rider," but that's another story.

Make it simple, contemporary (like the ACC stuff - then they'll look almost "official") and use big letters so it can be read from a safe distance.

Cheers,
Colin

Did ya get his registration? If so either report him or track him down and impale a rusty nail through his happy sack.

The kiwiBIKER AWARE.co.nz thing is too confusing (it's not bikeraware.co.nz - it's Kiwibiker .co.nz

if you want I'll illustrator that set up for you this week (I've just started the new Job - and I might have some free time!)

Nah, but he looked at me (apologetically) whilst putting his HeapOCrapHavocMobile back in its lane, so I flashed him various finger signals (i.e., "Please, Sir - do not change lanes again without first looking to see if it's clear.")
He must've misinterpreted my kindly hand gestures to mean, "Feck off, you feckin' eedjit!!", because he dropped WAAAAAY back, to give me plenty of room (like about 200m, by the time I got to the crest of The Coathanger).
Last time I was so pissed off (by a lady who did the same thing), I followed her all the way to where she was going, knocked on her window, told her she was an idiot and shouldn't be allowed to drive a car.

I agree that black on yellow is most effective. Whatever words used must be bold, simple, no more than 5 words. Don't like Frutiger, Rotis Sans is better if block font is preferred. I can design as many as you like within above parameters & can supply as a Vector file in EPS, AI, CDR, or similar. This one is really simple

MSTRS - Nice - I like it. However I asked the wife to have a look and she confirmed my concerns, she thought it meant look at the bike in the picture, after about 20 seconds of thought. I could tell she was thinking because I could smell burning.

I think we need to make a clear statement, something along the lines of "Look out for bikes".

Anything been done or being done about this idea? If there are any "Biker Aware" type stickers, I would like to get some for the family cage.

**FROSTY:Me** · 2nd July 2005, 09:57

(my race van)
I think we're a tadd slow on this one --ACC did their -watch for bikes stickers awhile ago
