Bicycle-related enamel pins
My good friend and I are both avid bike commuters and also graphic designers. In our search for bike-related pins, we couldn't find any -- so we started producing our own. Now we've got them for sale at www.modeandmeans.com.
If you've got any ideas for another bike pin, consider leaving a comment.
Thanks all!

Cool stuff! You should email John Greenfield at Streetsblog Chicago- he just did a story on local Chicago bike-related small businesses.

Nice pins, you should have a "working link" to your website so folks can click and go off your ad.... just saying

BTW I just placed an order for the Beach Cruiser Pin. The pin will compliment another one I usually wear

Very nice stuff!
As a serial folding bicycle owner/rider a pin which nods to that unique sub-species of bicyclist and bicycle would be welcome. There are more than a few folder-fans out there who (like me) would buy something like that.

@trailz Pin arrived today, nice quality. Thank you
One comment, if the pin only has a single post (as this one did) it would be better for it to be towards the top of the item rather then centered. This would prevent it from turning while being worn due to the weight distribution being downward.

Hey Joe,
Glad to hear you got the pin. We really appreciate you pointing out that two posts would help keep it from rotating. That's something that we've become aware of recently with our designs... that post position is integral. We'll certainly be considering this going forward.
Cheers,
Marcus

Some pins have a second very short post meant to just steady the position without a second clasp

Got tandem pin? I think that the pins are a great idea. I suggest making pins for known biking destinations. Suggestions just based on my adventures would be The Dempster Highway, Whitehorse, Inuvik, ITH (Inuvik Tuktoyuktuk Highway) Tuktoyuktuk, (Arctic Sea) Winnipeg, Victoria, Vancouver, St. Johns Newfoundland, Halifax, Vermont, and every state for that matter. Overseas is another long term consideration. I likely would have a buyer for some of these actually.
