Share the Road Plates!!

[Blueberry]

NC does have a share the road plate, but it's my understanding that the funds are regularly raided for other things. I certainly wouldn't mind giving $$ to the cycling organizations, but I'm not a fan of providing DOT with extra $$.

On a semi-related issue (sorry for the hijack), does anyone have an LBS that sells "share the road" license plate frames?

My LBS did not have any of these frames but I found them online:

Share the Road Bicycle License Frame

and Amazon even has one:

And here is Amazon's Share the Road Bicycle License Frame

There were a few other places too.

LOL Love the 'Share the road y'all'



(slight side note I just added "You'd be hotter in a helmet" sticker to my car

Louisiana has lots of vanity plates. But none for bicyclists. There is one for Motorcycle Awareness.

Pooh for us.

I paid $30, not $75, for mine. ($30 over and above whatever your regular registration fee would be.)

Oops! It is $75 to register a truck in my county. Once I heard TXDOT hadn't released the funds to the humane society two years after they were introduced I said no way.

[wackyjacky1]

Still TXDOT holds the money hostage, I say no way jose!

Didn't know about that part...still, I like having the plate because of the possibility that it's spreading a little awareness to other motorists.

Where did you get your bumper sticker (Please Be Kind to Cyclists)?

[Aggie_Ama]

I love the plates, I just got really teed off when I found that out. Maybe it has been resolved, this was two years ago when I was going to get the horned toad ones for DH.

It is a local campaign, they sell them for $5 through their site (bekindtocyclists.com). Also lots of the bike shops here have them for a $2 (I think).

I read this thread earlier today and as I was walking across campus to my car (no, I don't commute on my bike - 35 mi ea way is too long ) ... anyhoo, I saw the CO share the road plate. I had no idea we had that... it's so pretty!

[sundial]

Arkansas legislated against adding more speciality plates. I splurged on an ivory bill woodpecker plate and I call it my ASU peckerwoods plate.
Dumb NCAA rules.

[SlowButSteady]

I collect license plates...

I have one of the TEXAS share the road ones on my front (the front of my truck, that is).

But I'm anxiously awaiting the release of a DOT issue Parrot Head plate for my back.

Here is Oklahoma's! (me likey da blue!!!) :P

[Tri Girl]

Babyblue- where did you get that? Oklahoma Bicycle Coalition? I guess the tag agency doesn't know about it. Last time I went to get my tags I asked and they said there is no such plate. I'm mad now. I wanted one so badly but they said "no luck."
Where do I go to get one of those beautiful plates???

[OakLeaf]

The graphic is okay...



but...

"These plates cost an additional $15.00 annually plus the normal registration fees....Five dollars of the total plate cost is distributed to the highway safety fund to publish and distribute a booklet that instructs bicycle riders on the methods and procedures of riding bicycles on the roads and streets of this state in a confident, legal, and safe manner."

IOW, the state keeps $10.00 toward the general fund and/or cost recovery, and spends $5.00 telling BICYCLISTS how to ride - nothing toward constructing or maintaining safe routes, or educating motorists.

[Tuckervill]

Well, except, there's not really a lot of money involved in selling those plates in the first place--the total proceeds would barely make a ripple in any state's highway fund. I'd be happier if the brochure were aimed at DRIVERS, though.

I don't buy special plates because my fifteen bucks would go farther with an actual advocacy organization anyway.
