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?

Just a bit:

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.

Whoosh.

No links?

Maybe Kinkos already has something.

Thank God I am poor and strange. Bicycles are wonderful!

We have a local tradesman who, when he is working on a house, leaves
his bike outside the premises with a big advert stuck to it. 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.

Same for motor vehicles in the U. S. *You can park something that
won't run on an empty lot.

This chap is was actually working at the bottom of our street
yesterday.
I had a nice chat with him and told him about a guy in Colorado being
interested in his advertising idea.

I've cycled and motor cycled on U. S. Census jobs and the bureaucrats
running the operation never complained. Many companies pass out
magnetic sheets to temporarily "convert" employees' private motor
vehicles to company vehicles. The pizza delivery sign is the most
common.

It would help encourage cycling if there was a way to create enough
demand for the top down and seat tube temporary banners that it could
become part of the "establishment."

Like most bicyclists you completely miss the point.

Advertising is about creating a brand image & reinforcing it.

Advertising on a push bike would send out a negative image.

Nobody would want to associate a product or service with the 'poor &
strange' or something 'embarrassing'.

You are obviously too thick to understand that "One swallow doth not a
summer make". A tactic often used by dim witted cyclists.

But your stupidity may have accidentally made a valid point.

Most of Skys output is embarrassing rubbish designed to be viewed by the
poor & strange. Perhaps though this be madness, there is method in it.

Do try to learn to snip sigs, there's a good boy.

My Scott CR1 came with a pack of transfers bearing the name of Ritchey,
Campagnolo, Selle Italia and Scott so you could add your own logos as you
saw fit.
Maybe removable plastic transfers are the answer.
