Personalized Cycling Plate For Your Vehicle?

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

Personalized Cycling Plate For Your Vehicle?

This might belong in Foo but hopefully the mods let it stay here because Im really only interested in roadie plates.

Its time for me to renew my plates and I'm wanting to switch my personalized tag to something cycling related. Unfortunately I seem to be drawing a blank as to what I want to put on there. So, I figured I'd ask as Im sure many of you probably have personalized plates on your vehicle.

In NC, we are allowed 8 letters, I know thats more than a lot of states. So post up your suggestions and help me pick a new plate!

Thats actually my first choice. Sadly its such an inside BF joke that no one outside of me and Wolfpack will get it amongst the people I ride with but it still would be pretty funny. R600DA immortalized on my license plate.

All the kids will just think I have a thumping stereo system.

Do it. I've only seen ONE other share the road plate (besides mine, which I see every time I walk behind my car ). We need more of 'em!
