Is there a "cyclist" bumper-sticker?
When I'm motoring instead of riding and pass a group of cyclists, I wish I had a way to say "I'm one of you" without making a gesture which might be misunderstood. Does anyone know of an available bumper-sticker or rear-window placard with a "cyclist" ideogram or some such?

My favorite that I don't have..
..... the Evolutionary Cyclists bumper sticker...
... Displays the evolution of man- from Monkey to Bicyclist....Guess does not work for certain religious types. ?. Anyone have an extra we can purchase...?

USAC used to give out small logo stickers with the licenses. That'd work.

stole your bike
The best way to show them you're "one of them" is to be riding in the pack, otherwise driving safely will be much better than some silly bumper sticker that no one will see or be concerned with.

But, Jorge. I have 1 jersey that doubles for cycling advocates.. /'Ride a bike, ban cars.'../ So what's wrong with stating your feelings on the back of your car, too.? Some of us just like to piz off the cagers..

I don't have one becuase I don't want other drivers to associate cyclists with bad driving.

I have a Felt sticker above my brake light on the back window, numerous BMX stickers on my back side triangular windows, and have roof racks year round with bike-related stickers on the fairings.
Bike stickers on car windows are something I've been doing since I got my license about 7 years ago.

It's not a matter of right or wrong, just personal preference. Riding is something I love to do but is very basic for me so the best way I express my enjoyment is to be out there doing it, but if you feel the need to make more of a message then that's your choice. I've always been more interested in working with people so getting drivers irate doesn't make much sense to me considering we have to share the road, I do my best to follow traffic laws and it's helped in getting along with most motorists.

I might sound like more of a militant cyclists than I really am .. Yes, guess I am a walking bill board for cycling with my tee shirts, roof top bike rack, Livestrong braclet, TDF cap, bumper stickers.. .
But, I am a lawful cyclist and follow traffic rules. I even yield to motorists when they hog the road and I have the right of way..
.Still I've been cursed at, forced off the road, had bottles and fruit thrown at me.Even spat upon at stop lights... . We all have our days when our patience grow thin.. And we read of texas towns that ban cycling..

I would, however, like to advertise safe passing on my car when I am not a cyclist. I presume "don't be an asshat" will not get the job done, how about a bike symbol, share the road, 3 feet its the law kind of thing?
edit: I found one -the oval window sticker would work for me:
