    good signs..

    I saw a middleaged guy on a new bike complete with helmet yesterday. From his
    posture, I am sure he's never been on a bike before. Maybe he decided enough was enough?


    and I saw these two kinda stupid billboards yesterday... what do you think?

    I hope she's not driving while she writes on her face in lipstick......

    I was driving when I saw those signs and did NOT notice there were the words that mentioned bicycling. I think most folks are going to see those bill boards and think WTF? and keep on going ... clueless!

    Too much space devoted to the photo instead of the message. I thought the first one was a cosmetics ad.

    The ads totally do NOT do a good job of promoting their cause. The first one looks like a lipstick ad and the second, well looks stupid to me. BUT, at least they're trying to get the word out, even though they could do a better job of it.

    Not too fond of the ads, but hopefully the bill in our state assembly mandating a 3 foot pass cushion for cyclists will pass. A few traffic tickets should help people remember!
