It was fun to write. I'm glad you enjoyed it.<br /><br />Phillip--"The nerd plate". I love it! One of my great disappointments was, after taking one off, finding out that it didn't even make a good Frisbee!<br /><br />Mike--You make me glad I don't live in Missouri. I have never been convinced that those flags offered much safety, even for a recumbent bike: the only sort of bike on which I could even consider using one.<br /><br />Leo--I thought about writing short texts, or scrawling some sort of graffiti, on the flags. Perhaps they still wouldn't have sold, but it would have been fun!Justine Valinottihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10852069587181432102noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8908461644259659419.post-21281339852049173312016-06-15T05:39:55.884-07:002016-06-15T05:39:55.884-07:00One thing was missing from those flags: short text...One thing was missing from those flags: short texts.<br /><br />I'd suggest "Ringling Bros." on the yellow one and "Barnam and Bailey" on the orange one.

This same fellow is also attempting to pass a ban on bicycles from any and all roads used by motor vehicles, and also to open state trails (eg. the Katy trail) to ATVs. i'm SO glad i don't live in Missouri.<br /> <br />At my old shop, we had a box of those flags that we also couldn't give away. i don't recall ever having to install one. Today one can see flags on recumbents and tadpole trikes, but i wonder how effective they really are as a "safety" device.mike w.https://www.blogger.com/profile/10317710564489321690noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8908461644259659419.post-2057416122304507872016-06-15T04:04:04.136-07:002016-06-15T04:04:04.136-07:00We couldn't even suffer to leave on a bikes st...We couldn't even suffer to leave on a bikes standard safety reflectors. They were the first thing to come off, followed immediately by the nerd plate behind the cassette. A bike flag wouldn't have made it out of the parking lot. If I had one of the low riding tadpole trikes I would certainly have one though.Phillip Cowanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01553979458131339924noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8908461644259659419.post-13880576254607187092016-06-14T20:38:51.831-07:002016-06-14T20:38:51.831-07:00What a hoot!
