DONT Honk to say Hello!
God - it's bad enough to get honked at by kids. When friends and co-workers do it - (to say hi!), I still jump out of my skin.

I read on a thread around here that someone had a shirt that said:
"A Father; a Husband; a Son. Please don't hit me."
Or something to that effect.

This jersey requires no sign. It says exactly how I feel. Sometimes, I get hassled when I wear it in the 7-11's and catches the eye of upitdy motorists. But that is ok. My bike to work jersey. And leave your car home.

I've thought of designing one that says:
My Carbon Footprint (and, my Ass) are Smaller Than Yours!

Going back to the OP's original point, it seems to me that everybody I see on a bike is cyclist. Haven't ever seen a need to differentiate myself from them. The whole notion of trying to say that "I'm not like them" strikes me as strange.

I posted this in another thread:
However, if I were going to put a message on my back it would be:
I'm not positive that it actually is the law, here in TX, but then again, niether would most motorists.
I remember a story from a few years back in which a cyclist tried out different statements on his shirt to see what effect it had on surrounding motorists. The phrases on his shirts ranged from "Screw you and your car!" to "Share the road. It's the law." but there was one statement that stood out above all others...
"My ex-wife got the car."
He said motorists gave him more room, didn't honk at him and he had a few comment about the shirt while sitting at red lights. He even got a few offers from women along his route. Nearly all his interactions with motoring commuters was positive.

"Ask me about Jesus!"
They'll give you room and never talk to you for fear you'll talk to them. Come off as harmless, too.

The last one is my favourite. It has been my experience that people are afraid of things they don't understand more than anything else.

Some of these almost had me rolling out of my seat laughing. Especially the last 7-8 posts. I am going to have to make some t-shirts with those on them.

No kidding! these phrases are priceless. I've made T-shirts in the past for cycling. All it takes is an ink-jet printer, iron-transfer paper, and any computer program to make the graphics. (T-shirt and iron, of course) They turn out pretty good usually.

aka: Mike J.
I'd like to get a jersey someday with that Calvin&Hobbes cartoon where the dad goes off on a rant while strapping on his bicycle helmet getting ready to go for a pedal, just the second frame.

1) Put down the donut/coffee/cell phone/makeup and drive.
2) [infinity sign] mpg
3) My bike gets better milage than your hybrid.
4) Gas = Terrorism
5) Bicycle and rider under video surveillance
Or, screw it, go to a surplus store and get yerself one of those T-shirts that say "FBI" "ATF" or any number of other official-looking-but-not abbreviations. Like the ones you see them wearing in the movies so they don't shoot at each other.
