Promote Bike Safety and Awareness through the visual aid of this clear vinyl cling (1 7/8-inch diameter image on a 2 inch square) on the inside of your car window. We have installed them in upper left portion of the windshield near or below where oil change reminders are typically placed. We designed them as a warning for drivers opening their door into bicycle traffic and “dooring” a rider.
These clings also promote awareness to drivers to share the road with cyclists.
As a vinyl cling it can be easily removed or repositioned as desired.
Although it is mounted on the interior, the graphics on the clear vinyl cling can be seen and understood when viewed from the exterior. See the reverse of the image here
Put the clings on the front and rear windshields to help spread the word to drive safely, checking for bicyclists!
I love this little sticker! As one who has been doored, i’m all for anything that helps folks get reminded to watch out for each other!
Sherie and others – this seems to help and motorists truly seem to be open to the idea. I was riding down Solano Wednesday when a motorist in front of me didn’t signal, stopped short and pulled into a parking spot. I stopped and after she got out of the car I asked her if she’d seen me. She sheepishly said no and asked what she’d done. I told her and said that it could have had serious consequences, then showed her a Cling. She thanked me, promptly put it on her windshield and introduced herself. Claudia had been thinking of other things (looking for a parking spot being one of them) and wasn’t looking for me. Now she will, and I think there are lots of others like her.
Carry a few Clings with you when you ride and report back on what happens! Thanks!
I picked up ten of these fab stickers immediately. I was doored badly (by someone in a pickup with one of those one-way decorative designs—I’ll never forget it, it was Hawaiian-themed—on their rear windshield that made it impossible to see inside to try to watch out for movement from the driver’s seat) 20 years ago. Even so, I’ve since opened my door more than once in a hurry without looking, and a couple of times almost hit a bicycle rider. I’m not gonna let myself become the same kind of schmuck who hit me! (It was a kid, and he looked down at me, said “C’mon, you’re fine”, and walked off as I was writhing in pain in the middle of the street. Someone called the police, and I filed a complaint and had him arrested.)
