The intention is good but the design is a mess.

I've been looking on line but can't find many options.

I wondered if anyone knew where I could find something like that ?

Thanks !


There are businesses that make custom bumper stickers in all sizes, magnetic ones, too.

Ten or more years ago I bought some stickers which said: "GIVE CYCLISTS ROOM!". I can't remember where they came from but maybe via CTC (moment of silence) or a cycling publication. I displayed it on my campervan and the bike and gave some to friends. Long gone now, the stickers that is. Comments about the wording were inevitable but I thought it needed to be said even then.

Thanks for all the suggestions.

Some good ideas.

I had a thought about copying a Covid social distance sign. and putting a car once side and a bike the other.

It says 2 metres. Well, I want 2 metres from a car that could kill me.

I would guess that I have more chance of dying due to a car crushing me than getting Covid.

I doubt that.

About 100 cyclists die on roads in the UK every year, and only some of those are "crushed" by cars.

Probably between 0.9M and 3.5M people in the UK have been infected with the virus, and the distribution is pretty flat by age across adults, although not by region.

I should have worded it better.

What I mean is if I'm hit with Covid then there's a very low chance I'll die.

If I'm hit by a car it's very high

Well it got me thinking about how little I know about the categories of deaths and injuries to people on bikes. Still reading.

The discussion about COVID testing has been moved to the thread about COVID.

Couldn't find exactly what I wanted so I made up my own.

Thanks for all the input.

Is anyone aware of a source for a car rear window sticker along these lines?

I've been Googling all morning but have drawn a blank!

You could cover over the "IRL" on some of these:

Alternatively, I'm sure there are sites willing to print custom designs if someone feels able to do good artwork. I'd promote them to cycling groups I'm part of.

Have you had your design made into a sticker and if so where?
