    I don't know if other states have them, but Illinois will soon have a cycling related Share The Road plate.

    Would you get one if it was available where you live??



    I'm considering it.

    With any luck when Michigan does their plate... they won't do what Wisconsin did.

    I don't have mine yet, but plan on getting one when I have to renew my tabs this year.

    that's for motorcycles, is there a bike version?
    Interesting that they give Harley Davidson some free PR

    Not that I've heard of, the WI plate is a hot topic on the motorcycling forums I frequent (equal time, why not Kawasaki, etc.)

    Well, the world HQ IS in Milwaukee and H-D-related stuff brings a fair amount of money into the state...so I will cut them slack for that.

    I wonder if Harley is paying for the advertising... or getting paid for "allowing" their logo to be used?

    Looks like they're working with the state to offer safety programs and people do pay extra for those plates...I'm all for that.

    i got a new car in january and got a "share the road" plate for it. ours look like this:



    the additional fees for the plate go to the Bicycle Transportation Alliance and Cycle Oregon.

    I'm in IN also, and am going to get the new plate when I renew.

    I wanted to get a special custom one also. But, not excited about renewing the money early.

    I like the IN bike plate.

    That's pretty cool!

    As I understand it, the fees in IL will go towards cycling awareness education. If I'm off the mark Geonz will know for sure, she's pretty involved with cycling issues in our state.

    Texas has one too, it says "Share the road, y'all." (it looks like Lance and his yellow jersey are on it, too.) I have thought about getting one, but for me it's a toss up between the bicycle one and the animal one, which has a cartoon of a dog and cat and it says "Animal friendly".
