Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

If I had one, it would be "You can rest when you're dead", its what I tell my self when I want to give up.

As Tribronc already said, the bodily needs are temporary, but quitting last forever

i was going to put HTFU or THE GORILLA'S NOT TIRED but ended up with NO PCN, ORGAN DONOR

i saw somewhere that someone suggested DON'T TAKE OFF MY HELMET and thought that might be a good one. Although, if someone's stupid enough to take off your helmet after a crash, they probably aren't smart enough to look for or read a road id.

Don't want to start a flame war or P&R discussion but I find it sad that writing "full health insurance coverage" would be seen to make a difference.
I would take the insurance note to be humor, don't think ambulances normally check for that.

And "HTFU" for whoever asked, "harden the F up".

Yep, that's what it means. But that's not what generates the extra dork factor.

HTFU is short for Harden the Frack Up.

Generally used on people who think RoadIDs should be titanium to reduce the weight.

Ding, ding, ding! From John Smith's Journal of Impossible Things, from the episode "Human Nature". Or maybe "Family of Blood". Refers to the TARDIS, of course.
