Business card?

Wrong kind or word maybe but I reckon we need something. Well I need
something and hopefully others do :-)

I meet a lot of cyclists on my daily commute and, being the shy retiring
type, end up talking to a lot of cyclists. Believe it or not the a.b
crowd is a very very small subset of the cyclists who are out there and
there are a lot of cyclists who are completely unaware of our
existence.

Amazingly there are even some cyclists who have no idea about the issues
facing them and the groups that have / are forming to address these
issues.

Now I don't know about you but I find it pretty difficult to even touch
the tip of the iceberg about what's going on during a light change. A
lot of people have no concept of what Usenet is so blithely saying
``just check out aus.bicycle'' doesn't work too well so I'm thinking
about getting some business cards printed up with starting points.

So what to put on it? Just the links? A bit of info on how to use
Usenet? I guess Cyclingforums would be OK but some posts don't make it
in to a.b from there. I suck at design so any suggestions greatly
appreciated.

Likely suspects so far:

And maybe some blurb like ``Grass roots cycling'' or something.

The Vicroads/Gov/BV distributed a fairly good little Bcard at last
year's Ride2Work (altoh you may be 'elsewhere' that day )

BoroondaraBUG has one

WoJ should definetely have one. If only they would hurry up and get
that logo and brochure sorted...

Taking a leaf out of the bike couriers, you [we] could print out a
a.b/WoJ/2wheels-Good-4wheels-bad symbol/insignia etc , laminate it &
bung it in between the spokes of your rear wheel.?

was almost, but not quite, entirely unlike tea:

And news://aus.bicycle

Type that into a browser, as people will likely do, and it *should*
work, as long as they have followed their ISPs instructions (big if, I
know).

happen at once.
And space is so that it doesn't all happen to you.

Hmm...do we have any pre-existing designs/criteria that were agreed upon
while I was out of the room?

Good question

Ummm how about the symbol of a pair of scales with a bicycle wheel on
one and a 4 WD wheel on the other? No?
