Company Logo/Sign Banners for Bicycles
When a service or delivery vehicle pulls up to your house, you know
someone has arrived for a business visit by the company sign painted on the vehicle. If cycling is good enough for EU leaders to arrive at summits or whatever photo ops they cycle to in Europe, then cycling is good enough for at least some kinds of commerce. A bicycle delivery company, for example, should be able to order a triangular piece of material with the company logo printed on it. Three velcro straps allow it to be attached to the top tube, down tube and seat tube. Am I too late for this one? Bret Cahill |

The Council cannot ask him to remove it like they can with a semi permanent ad as the bike is not classed as a billboard but a bicycle. -- Simon Mason |

It could be painted on either side of the bike in fluorescent colours (pink, for instance) on a black background, along with the owner's name and address. |

Advertising is about creating a brand image & reinforcing it. Advertising on a push bike would send out a negative image. -------------------------------------------------------- ""Many people barely recognise the bicycle as a legitimate mode of transport; it is either a toy for children or a vehicle fit only for the poor and/or strange." "For them, cycling is a bit embarrassing, they fail to see its purpose, and have no interest in integrating it into their lives, certainly on a regular basis." Dave Horton, of Lancaster University. ---------------------------------------------------------- Nobody would want to associate a product or service with the 'poor & strange' or something 'embarrassing'. -- Dave - Cyclists VOR.

Between 25% & 50% more expensive than average because they are so slow, you need to tell them exactly what the job is because they can't carry all the right tools, only able to operate in specific areas etc. -- Dave - Cyclists VOR.

I was thinking of something more temporary. After the job you roll it up and stuff it into your pocket. Of course, that arrangement gives the lie to the words of those who claim that there is no convenient place on any bike where a registration mark could be placed. It could be painted on either side of the bike in fluorescent colours (pink, for instance) on a black background, along with the owner's name and address. Cycle cops rely on their uniform, something that might work for some service industries. Bret Cahill |
