Re: quote for a future t-shirt?
I'd quite like a bike-related t-shirt with a quote from a bjork song: "Curling up inside my private tortures, I nestle into pain, Hug suffering, Caress every ache"
Or how about final the lyric from Vatican Broadside by Half Man Half Biscuit with "Stuart" instead of Slipknot?
Many a miserable wet Welsh night ride spent with that 37 second gem on repeat.

"I am a simple guy who just wants to ride his bike"
Steve Cummings quote after winning a stage of last years Tour of Britain, certainly struck a chord with me, fast or slow I am
happy when I'm riding my bike

Choose touring.
Choose travelling.
Choose CTC.
Choose gaudily coloured bags stuffed with unnecessary items dangling from weighty racks bolted to your bicycle.
Choose visits to museums after leisurely sweat free miles of pedalling through Turner-esque countryside wearing nothing but a straw hat and kaftan.
Choose cheery hat tipping at passers-by and endless conversations concerning your life choice to walk away from it all by diverting the trust fund into ͞cycling͟.
Choose beards, round rimmed spectacles, corduroy trousers tucked into woollen socks.
Choose Sturmey Archer, Thorn, Dawes, Raleigh, Moulton, Pashley and Pam Ayres.
Choose compasses, paper maps and long diatribes at any individual daring to augment their outdoor experience with technology.
Choose steel frames, downtube shifters, toe clips, kickstands, cotter pins and mirrors on the end of handlebars.
Choose rain capes that engulf the whole bicycle, a tent capable of hosting a circus multi-ring stoves, a smug self satisfied arising from grinding ones morning coffee beans on a stone.
Choose the far corners of commercial campsites, boutique bed and breakfasts or the sofas of internet loaners desperate for a kindred sole to share their boing life.

Uhm, if ever proof were needed that designing a T shirt is harder than it looks ... it's right here

Re: quote for a future t-shirt?
My apologies in advance to Stu if I'm "over-using" this image but ...

Turn this into a B&W image (cropped to the head to capture "that" look) and the line under it "FFS".
I'd buy that for a dollar

Re: quote for a future t-shirt?
Definitely some potential there.
Y'know how you did the two tone print for the trainspotting / rainspotting T's. That's what I meant by B&W (there's probably a technical term
)
Oh and closer crop, really just a head shot.
I maybe taking this more seriously than appropriate

I still want a "tramp on two wheels" T-shirt or maybe the more sophisticated sounding "Vagrants on Velocipdes"
Re: quote for a future t-shirt?
Judging by the stack of poorly designed tshirts with "not as funny as it sounded in my head" quotes sitting in a box...i can also atest to the difficulty in designing good tshirts with cycling related humor.
Turns out, just because i run a business that primarily makes patches and shirts, doesnt mean i can think of anything instantly funny or popular
who'd have thought it?
For those that like scifi, films and games, me and my dad are quite proud of our collection patch designs on our online shop. Worth a look just for a laugh even its not at all related to this hobby
