The mission is to get one million cars driving around with one
million stickers that say bicycles allowed use if full lane and to
advertise the message on web sites and magazine ads. *It's something
every cyclist can do to make drivers aware of cyclists right to use
the roads. *I'm in, are you?

Oh, wouldn't John Forester be proud of you, (Take the lane!)
perpetuating traffic rudeness that causes harsh interactions between
motor vehicles and bicyclists, the former being the preferred mode of
transport for most citizens in industrialized nations. *Don't ignore
that more people drive huge trucks now than at any previous time and
that they love their powerful monsters. *They are not encouraging more

Great picture!
It's not about taking the lane. Most streets in the US don't have bike
lanes, are substandard in width and don't have shoulders. It's about
spreading the word that bicycles do have the right by law to use the
road, to get motorists thinking abount their actions when overtaking a
cyclist. You're right that there are way too many people with
disregard to cyclists driving around in huge trucks like that. The
more reason to spread the word.
