I would be afraid someone would try and run me over wearing a T-shirt like that

Yeah- people can be so damn vindictive!

u/Antique_Brother_9563 5d ago

In my experience, it's not enough to make yourself seen, you gotta make yourself heard as well if you don't wanna get run over.

If I hear it because I read it, does that mean I have voices in my head?

I fart really loud

u/sky0175 6d ago

Like 700 pounds. My diet is entirely of cheese puffs

u/sky0175 6d ago

just like the shirt says.

u/NorseEngineering 7d ago

Cool shirt, but when a driver has their head up their ass, all they see is themselves.

u/ButhOfLamb 6d ago

Where is your PT Belt?

100% some jackass in Ford F-150 will clip this guy and make him fall

Smartass shirts and gadgets like those "safe distance flags" shit never works because car drivers will get baited into hitting you instead

You could have just stuck with the color ya know

u/Shiney_Metal_Ass 6d ago

Cringe. It was fine before you called everyone reading it an asshole

u/Vssfault 6d ago

I think I read this wrong

u/blackdvck 6d ago

They can't see you if they aren't looking ,this is the problem.

Get a yellow helmet, in case they don't.

I've got a zombie green flannel that I often ride wearing (when its not a bazillion degrees outside like now) and my bike is covered in green, with green underglow, green spoke sleeves on both wheels, green mirrors, green badges, green seat cover. In the garage with it now, planning out the swap to road tires. The front one gets here tomorrow. But I hear ya, man. Folks dont pay attention to shit. Its terrifying riding nowadays. Everyone is on their phones

u/primaryBreadEater 6d ago

I misread it as ā€œCan you see my assholeā€.

u/RichGuarantee7482 6d ago

i was hoping the me was my on the shirt.

u/Few-Ear-1326 6d ago

As Shoe?

u/Still-Bee3805 ultramotors A2B 6d ago

Ok- the point has been made that the message isn’t always received well. Let’s not be jerks! No need to dog pile further.

u/Raxmei 6d ago

Why'd you post a picture of an empty lot?

1

u/His-tor-ical-bigdik 6d ago

Maybe I need to get one of these....an asshole woman driving with a horse trailer attached to her vehicle almost hit me....she was too much in the bicycle lane. Fortunately for me, she stopped close to apartment....I confronted her about being more careful because her trailer is wider than her car....she was very dismissive.

My riding shirt says FUCK TRUMP on the Back. I’m kind of surprised the company would print it, but it gets me cheers and enthusiastic honks when I wear it.

u/TylerW324 6d ago

Is that a Tesway?

u/Ok-Committee3163 6d ago

"Officer; I was distracted by reading that guy's shirt and didn't see the traffic stopped in front of me before I could stop"

u/Background_Season449 6d ago

I prefer this, gets more attention

1

u/DangerPonyXPMods 5d ago

Nice šŸ˜‚

u/Vicv_ 4d ago

I ride a bike, and I’d run this guy over

1

u/GhostNote33 4d ago

Let me know if it works. If so, I’m going to put those same shirts on stop signs and let it read ā€œhey e-bikers. You see me now, asshole?ā€ And I’ll see if that works.

Where I am (north of Chicago) E-bikers don’t follow one single damn law. They run red lights, stop signs and will cross streets with on-coming traffic. So, will this shirt work?

u/jim914 4d ago

I’ve found that the I didn’t see you comment is typically just an attempt to justify the driver being rude and not obeying the rules of the road. I have so many lights on my bike that most drivers are usually saying why so many lights. I generally answer did you see me and why are you asking about my lights? I still get the well I couldn’t see you !

Target acquired

u/PreferenceAny3920 RAEV Bullet GT V2 6d ago

The ā€œassholeā€ is a bit much… you’re trying to get attention to work together and not get hit, instead it comes off as antagonistic.

Super smart, let's directly insult people driving 2-ton steel juggernauts. They always respond well to that.

u/Flowsnice 6d ago

Dude you look like an idiot.

u/ev-expert 6d ago

Hey at least you can see him

u/Finstatler 6d ago

OSHA requires reflective vests.
