  1. 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:

    http://cfsmtb.blogspot.com/
    http://s13.invisionfree.com/AusWheels_of_Justice/

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

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

    refer:
    vicroads.vic.gov.austr%2Dquest.pdf

    BoroondaraBUG has one

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

  3. 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.?

    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).

    Hmmm, hey folks, do you remember the cycling jersey thingo briefly mentioned before Hippy cleared off O/S?

    "aus.bicycle, because you can't ride all of the time"

    Hang on, I'll dig up the thread via googlegroups

    http://groups.google.com.au/group/aus.bicycle/browse_frm/thread/2ca04026c25a8b2e/67f09811a2634141?lnk=st&q=%22a.b.jersey%22&rnum=2&hl=en#67f09811a2634141

    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?

    I have illustrator templates for my aboc jerseys you're
    welcome to crib from. They're the "rowbust" pattern,
    which is a ripoff of a nike jersey, I think. Let me know
    if you want the files. I can whack them on my website
    for you?

    Google groups is pretty robust and available from anywhere. Easy URL
    too :

    http://groups.google.com/group/aus.bicycle

    There's a really nice online businesscard place I use for my
    stuff :

    http://www.clickbusinesscards.com/

    I'd be prepared to sponsor a bit of the card cost in return for an
    aboc logo on it somewhere 🙂 Same with the jerseys if you get 'em made
    by Rowbust.
    Mmm, commercial exploitation ....

    Quick and dirty and the proportions are a little whacky and I just realised
    I should have set it up for WOJ not a.b. but that's all editable.

    I don't think you need to.

    Maybe my imagination's just too good.
