    Just getting this thread up and running.

    I also want to announce a solution to this issue:

    I was wondering, is there some way Freezing Saddles riders can make themselves identifiable (to each other) on the roads?

    I like either the ribbon or the reflective thing, one note–Women & Bicycles has white ankle cuffs. That is a somewhat small subset, but also an overlapping subset :D

    Pink and green are fun though!

    I think this is a good idea. There are some clues, but no clear identifier:

    Many of us have the little reflective tags that say “Bike Arlington” or “Bike Forum” – some are yellow, some are blue, and some are even pink! I think that was the idea behind this. Maybe a volunteer could make another go at it.

    I volunteer!
    I have ordered a big supply of NEON GREEN ankle bands like this:

    When they come in I will make them available for $3 each; 2 for $5. You can put them on your ankles or just wrap one around one of your tubes. I think the green is unusual enough to make it easy to spot each other.

    Great idea. More practical than the forum tag that ended up permanently clipped to my commuter rig, leaving me unmarked on the other bikes. And visible from multiple angles.

    Would you please make sure Eric Williams’ weighs at least 10 pounds, unless he’s on my team?

    There is a brand of Israeli chocolate called “Elite”. I could get some at the Fairfax Shoppers. I am sure someone can think of a suitable thing for which it could be the prize.

    I’m in for a couple of ankle bands. And I will happily sponsor a Pointless Prize again this year. Maybe 2. Specifics to be determined at a later time, as usual.

    I will be doing a Pointless Prize.

    It will be coffee related.

    I doubt anyone’s surprised.

    International shipping, or will they be available at the first happy hour?
