Share The Road license plates

I've got one for Colorado...

Pax, I've had my Illinois Share the Road Plates ordered for months and still don't have them. As I understand it, they have to have 1500 people commit to the plates before they will manufacture them and that's the hold up. I can't wait to get them.

I bet once the weather finally cooperates and people can get out on their bikes we'll see an upsurge in orders. If I can convince my SO to part with the $$ we'll be joining you.

I am in Indiana and will certainly get one when my tags are due this summer. They had to have a base number of people to commit to purchase one before they were approved by the State, and I understand the proceeds will go for bicycle awareness programs.

I WOULD have gotten it early, but several bikes have been calling my name

I got one in Maryland a couple of years ago.

I wanted to get one this year but the new registration for my jeep was steeper than I thought, so next year I'll get them.

Yes I was just going to post Oregons share the road plate. I like it, but don't have it.

I have the Utah one, but have never seen another on the road and when a friend asked for it, he was told they didn't have any. It was the same office that sold me one about a month earlier. I think there is so little demand for them, the DMV employee was simply unaware they existed.

I hope they catch on, any little bit of awareness would help.

**SLash** · 04-22-2011, 08:46 PM

We have these on both our cars.

**Kelly_NC** · 04-24-2011, 01:38 PM

North Carolina has them...but, I don't have mine yet. :-(

Me too, Pax. I'd like to see them all over the state.

I've got the Colorado ones on my car, too. I just got the Bicycle Colorado newsletter and was actually quite surprised to see that there are only 5000 state wide - I would have expected more especially since they are only $25....

Just got mine here in Ohio. They look like this:

I've had my Texas "Share the Road" plates for a few years now. I wavered between that one and the Texas Parks & Wildlife plate with the horned toad, but in the end I decided to go with the bike plates in the hopes that even a puny little license plate might raise the awareness of other drivers, and possibly help to make cyclists a tiny bit safer.
