I wanted to get 2 shirts and some backordered stickers, but I get this when I add things to my cart:
Shopping Cart uploads can only contain one character set. For more information, please contact the merchant.

Any ideas?

Do you mean "4-valve engine". Hearts don't have 4 cylinders ( they 4 chambers, I guess) and they aren't shaped like a V, which is what the v6 in "v6 engine" refers to.

A shirt with...
Next Of Kin, Lawyer
That's a good idea. For me, it'd be true, too.

I wonder if a shirt with the entire back taken up by a picture of a camera would be good. Just put the suggestion in someone's mind that whatever they do could be caught on camera, and they're probably less likely to drive dangerously.

i dunno, the one that said "my other bike is a bike too" is a lot like one i've had in my head for a while--"my other car is a bike, too".

i also like the puns on gas and farting..."the only gas i get is from burritos", etc...

Hi Cole,

I followed a link to your site from the bikepirates community on
livejournal. I was thinking your stuff looked pretty cool until I
came to the pedal your ass off shirt.

Listen, with all the other cool stuff you make, do you really want to
be peddling this offensive, fat-phobic crap?

No, I'm not just being P.C. This image is offensive. Would you sell a
shirt that essentially said, "Hey black people, ride bikes and you
won't be so black anymore!"?

Besides which, it's just patently false that biking makes you thin or
that fat people don't ride bikes. I am fat. Have been all my life. I
ride every day, everywhere. I ride long and hard and sweaty. I do not
own a car. Bikes are my primary means of transportation.

I have been riding like this for a year and a half. And guess what?
I'm still fat! (And incidentally, I am also vegan, in case you were
thinking that it must be because of my horrible diet.)

I'm doing good by my health and the environment by biking. And I'm still fat!

And based on my observations, the people who nearly kill me in their
SUV's on a daily basis are overwhelmingly skinny yuppie women,
probably on their way to the gym.

On behalf of all fat cyclists,
k-bunny

i didn't think it was offensive...but, i guess he's got a point about the validity. and, man, you never know what's going to offend someone.

btw, if you want to check on designs in the future, just to see if it's been done, microcosmpublishing.com (org?) has a lot of bike-themed stuff.

Better not do a shirt that makes fun of stupid people. Wouldn't want to offend.

That's too bad k-bunny was offended by your shirt, but you know, everything will offend somebody, somewhere. I say keep it in production. I don't think it's meant to be taken real seriously. It's a pun, not expert health advice. It's not as if the shirt says, "I'm a doctor, and I recommend you start biking to take some weight off; it will work for because it works for everybody."

yeah...it just so happens, though, that almost everyone i know is on there, so it's easy to keep in touch with everyone...plus networking, as you say...like i've used to it to organize bands and crap like that before.

Hey, Cole,
The mail man delivered my "OLC" T's today. Schweeet, thanks for the quick delivery. I like the website logo on the back too, that's a bonus. Now you just have to make sure your site is ultra spiffy because you'll have more people visiting as your T shirts go around....peace.
