How about a T shirt that on the front just says: Google CVC 21200.
On the back just this: Every person riding a bicycle upon a roadway
has all the rights and is subject to all the provisions applicable to
the driver of a vehicle.
And that booth that jwstump mentioned... how about stocking it with
flyers that look like this:

In fact, why not just make up T shirts with that sign on them.
The booth could have a full set of literature from "Street Smarts" to
the "DMV Handbook..." the latter already book marked on the pages
with the bicycle info.
People are going to drive... even if all the oil was gone, there
would still be some form of alternative technology to allow some form
of "car." We just want drivers to share the road.
Of course it would also be nice if there were bicycle freeways
too... to preserve the inertia of a moving body... rather than
having to stop at each and every intersection. sigh...
