Crazy Ideas (Comments: 2)

I have this crazy idea to help the biking community. The more I think about, the more it develops. This is it’s current incarnation.

Business cards, probably bright orange, with helpful information on both sides. On one side, it will have tips about locking up your bike. On the other, it will have information about riding safely. The idea is that if you see a bike that isn’t locked up at all, or is poorly locked up, you can politely stuff one of these cards into the handlebars and maybe teach the owner something. The idea is that these cards can be handed out to people who ride against traffic, instead of with it. It seems like a simple way to HELP people without being obnoxious about it.

Now, I’m also thinking about making a PDF out of this stuff, so that anybody could download it, and print and make their own cards. That way it’s not just me handing out little orange cards. (Maybe other people will pick other colors.)

Do you think this idea is crazy good, or crazy bad?
