For Sale: Remaining 5 save the velodrome spoke cards

Hmmmpphhh.... I am still unrepentant! I shall be the devil and further suggest that we look for Boris's personal bike and insert as many spoke cards as we could and fill up BOTH his wheels!!! Or any prominent politician or superstar that we know the whereabout of their bikes!!! :D

must be the stress of dissertation

1 vote for not doing anything without their permission.
Spoke cards on your bike is one thing, targeting government property is another.
It's a well organised campaign and I'm sure they've thought of everything, so why not email Hilary Peachy and ask.

Even if it's to the detriment of this cause?

Just a cheeky proposition :) Can't fault a little mischief if it brings more good...

I'd ask first, they were very helpful with me.

The fine for posters/ stcikers/ etc etc on government property can be pretty harsh though, and it might not be in keeping with the general tone taken at the meeting which was of community inclusion and working in partnership with local authorities.

Perhaps just spoke up your own bike and ride around more?

Hence the cheeky prefix :)

I'd love one of these.

No problem Seak and Cheesecake.

They're £1.40 a pop. Or £2 posted first class with paypal. (or yknow, £3.40 for two obviously)

I will be around the cycle show on sunday afternoon/ evening, at souths on monday, (hopefully north's although this may be a flying visit) or you can collect from me in N16.

I am starting the second batch today and they will be ready by sunday. If ready before then I will let you know.

In fact, I'll take two via paypal.. I'll PM you on sunday for payment details, but please save 2 for me

Ah we could have met up then!
Can bring mine if you haven't posted already. No worries if you have.

hey laura, if you make more of these, you should think about doing some a6 ones as well. more traditional spoke card size.

these are the best quality spoke cards i have seen.

Put me down for one as well please. Would need posting, drop me a message when you're sorted and I'll send details and paypal.

Cheers

On another note, I used to work for a printer called Hobs. I'm up in Leeds and I reckon as it's for a good cause, if I went down I could get a batch of these produced at cost. I could then post down to you for distribution? Not sure what the postage cost would be but guessing not that much.

In fact I have a mate that works in a london branch of Hobs that may be able to do them cheaply, which would make more sense. Or even a manager at a different printers in brum that could probs sort them for free.

I actually posted yours yesterday, was hoping it would be with you today. Sorry if it's been held up. Feel free to say hello though :)

I went for A5 with these because I thought it's never going to be a long term wear so might as well get maximum visibility for as long as the campaign runs. Hence why they are heavy stock and the better laminate! Quality campainging innit!

I was actually thinking of doing some just gloss card A6 ones, not with laminating and distributing them around, bike shops etc. Will get onto that next week.

Hey Malaysian, this could be really good! As above, I think it's good to offer a awesome!!! option for those that want to really publicise the cause. However I am thinking of just stumping up the cash to get a number of smaller ones made and distribute to bike shops.

i'll take one, please inkymitts.

Cool, I'll come find you and bring another replacement card. You'll be able to recognise me by my also femaleness. And the ft under my arm.

A classy lady.
Replacement? Very kind.
I'll be holding a load of balls I think.

I'll grab one, can collect from N16 any time. Good cause.

can you put me down for 2 via post i'll PM ya for Paypal details etc...
Cheers.

Great stuff, looks like the ball is really rolling here, second batch have been printed, am just trimming. Can people let me know if they want to grab one off me at drinks or something so I make sure I bring enough :) cheers.

Given the level of support here I am probably going to look into personally funding a larger batch (although not nearly as posh) of smaller ones to distribute to (I imagine) bike based businesses. If anyone can think of a business that would be suitable or has a contact there please let me know. I'm happy to deliver. Hopefully this might be a way of reaching out to other types of bike user that might not be aware of the campaign.

I'll wanna support aswell! will pick up from North Beers

Second batch are ready now. I'm about to head down to the cycle show, expect to be there for the final hour at least. If you want to come grab one off me I will have some with me.

I left a few not so good looking ones there yesterday, my printer ran out of blue ink halfway through [fail]

I want to thank someone for mine, they were in my wheel when I emerged from the Save The Velodrome meeting, let me know...
