WWTEPD??- aka What Would TE Peeps Do

[salsabike]

Here's what I would do if I owned a shop: I would not say a single word against the offending riders, or against any riders. However, I would start a visible *POSITIVE* campaign about responsible riding. I would put up posters in/outside the store (and maybe in public places that permit posting handbills). I would maybe print some bumperstickers. I would put some line about it in all of my advertising. I would try to get interviewed by the local paper... etc... If it were really important to me, I would harp on it so much that people who didn't know much about the shop would hear the name mentioned and say "oh, those are the 'safe cycling' people, aren't they?".

What a really wonderful idea!
