Sincere apologies for the cross posting to multiple lists. However, I feel
strongly enough about the message to risk the ire.
Please see the message below from the League of American Cyclists regarding
items on cafepress.com advocating striking cyclists with motor vehicles.
While some of the items displayed on the link are "Share the Road" messages,
there's several orange designs with a decidedly anti-cyclist, pro-violence
bent.
If you care about your place on our streets, I hope you'll call cafepress
and complain.
Tailwinds,
Susan

Subject: Bikeleague-"I Don't Share The Road" Accompanies a Car Striking a
Bicyclist
Dear Team Estrogen Inc:
We wanted to bring the following issue to your attention. Please go to the
address below and see the violence being promoted against bicyclists by
CaféPress through stickers, t-shirts and coffee mugs.
The message: "I don't share the road," accompanies a car striking a
bicyclist. There are others:

Please call CaféPress at (877) 809-1659, Toll-Free, to let them know you
find this type of behavior reprehensible, offensive, and irresponsible.
You would expect better judgment to be exhibited on behalf of management.
Cheers & Safe Cycling,
Lou Elin Dwyer
Advocacy Coordinator
