The BIKEOI was brilliant. Now we need some more ideas.
We definitley don't want to go off half cocked with half baked ideas that annoy the public.
I think what we need to be doing now is what everyone is doing! Writing letters to the editor, getting heard on the radio (Well done Les and the Profesor and everyone else)....submitting comments on other forums, etc
Let use this thread to bounce around other 'out of the box' ideas (someone is going to come up with a great idea) for when we need it.

My first idea - just snapping off a shot blindly in the dark at 3 paces with a water cannon
Lets pick a day and on that day we get every motorcyclist to place one sign each in one car park. The signs should be written on the side of the largest cardboard box you can find (So they have to get out and move it before they can park). The sign should read.
"If you found moving this box an inconvenience - just imagine how inconvenient it will be when I park my car here because inequitable increases in ACC levies mean I can't afford to ride my bike to work"
Let's tell the press the day before why we are doing it first and lets make sure we put a few extra in the press car parks.
Hopeful Biker has suggested we weight each box by placing a bottles of water in each one.
Subike "the box will cost you nothing, can be used in metered parking, gets the point across to many people quickly, and a whole street done with boxes in minites. The same would fast become a news item if it continued on a daily basis in differeing streets. Eventually it could become an urbant myth type protest, as it is just a box with words."
Bend-it suggests "and if there's a couple of minties and a note or something like that for the inconvenienced driver, that would be seen in a positive light"
