[Kathy Keehan]

These items are outrageous and promote violence against bicyclists. You can
call Café Press at the number below or email at the www.cafepress.com
‘contact us’ page. I called and said they are investigating it, but it can’t
hurt for more people to call or email.

Dear San Diego Cnty Bike Coalition:

 

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,
