The Alliance for Biking & Walking list serve put out this wonderful idea, recycle sign shop waste. You know that reflective material they put on signs (basically a vinyl sheet with adhesive back) with the excess scraps going to the landfills will be collected and will be made available to decorate your bike, helmet or whatever and help make you more visible at night.

The word has gone out and we are getting the various sign shops to start collecting the scraps for use as safety giveaways. Our thanks go out to the many fine folks in government who helped to promote this idea.
