Default 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?

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.

Just a bit:

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.

It has been done for over a century in the UK.
Like this.

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.
--------------------------------------------------------
""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'.

This is an excellent example of what you mean.

Yes, but only by a century or so.

Its an excellent example of what a **** poor form of transport a push
bike is.

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.

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

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.
