The Bicycle Friendly Decal phenomenon continues to grow On the left is a chart of a week's shipping destinations, which included shipments to Canada, Australia, and the United Kingdom as well as California, New York, Iowa, New Mexico, Illinois, Colorado, Tennessee, Louisiana, Missouri and Kentucky. On the right, an earlier shipment had reached Italy, and Coach Grigsby received the photo of a Roman van with one of the decals affixed. The decals are being sold locally in restaurants, shipped from the campus, and in many cases, delivered in person, as the Coach's Brother Nick did for Main Street Bikes in Shelbyville, KY, while in the area for a ride. There's now a frequently updated world map with pins show locations of shipments at this page on wearebikefriendly.com, with tabs there to stickers (with ordering instructions), T-shirts, In the Media, Quotes, and News. Coach Grigsby thanks all who have helped to spread the word.
