I guess I should tell you....we can still read your plate number. That is clearly nothing other than 0555

You got the numbers right but its clearly a Kansas plate.

Wrong! My youth was spent watching scrambled and blurred porn, and I can tell you with 100 percent certainty: It's a threesome.

So I'm from Kansas and got excited at your comment before looking at the picture again. Now I'm sad.

My apologies.

I'm on the west side of the state...going to be getting one of these myself soon as well.

Anyone know if PA has or is going to have a plate like this?

I didn't look at all of them, but it doesn't look like it:

http://www.dmv.state.pa.us/license_plates/plate-special_org.shtml

However according to this page any special organization can apply for a custom plate:

Special Organization License Plates are also available in the standard license plate design. Please contact your organization to obtain an application for a Special Organization License Plate.

So you could try to find a local bike club willing to sponsor a plate.

Awesome! Thanks so much!

I know for the TN plate the foundation that applied for the plate had to get 1000 people to preorder the plates at $50 ea. before the state would approve it, there was also a time limit.

This is how you get that kind of plate in Pennsylvania:

I hope so. They enacted the four foot requirement this year, but I don't think most people know or care.

Nice!

P.S. If you really don't want people to know your plate numbers, you should really do a better job blurring. ;)

Those aren't the actual numbers, just photoshopped some random numbers on there and blurred them slightly :)

Berry sneaky!

What? Why go that far? Just blur it. :)

Represent! Getting my tags renewed next August. I'm trying to choose between this and my alma mater. Tough choice...

And a first world problem, tbh.

I've got the Oregon equivalent of those plates, but I've gotta say, I wish mine had the passing distance displayed on it. Nice touch.

Tennessee - where cars are less than 3 ft wide.

Since those don't have the county like the normal ones do, I'm guessing Chattanooga.

Williamson, if you look closely you can seem the lovely Williamson county 2013 wheel tax sticker.

Ahh, Franklin. Chattanooga has gotten so awesome in the last few years that I just figured that's where you were. I'm jealous of most of Tennessee down here in Alabama.

Chattanooga has gotten so awesome in the last few years

Come see us this spring and we'll take you on a bike tour of beautiful and historic downtown including the riverfront and north shore areas. We can even get in on some bike polo.

Diffie-HellmanCustom Keith Anderson, Ciocc Designer '84, 1973 Raleigh Supebe•

I've been really impressed with how much more bike friendly the city has become. We have a group that plays polo here, but I'm sure it's much bigger up there.

Just as a cynical snarky pessimist, can you let us know when the plates or your car are vandalized because of the plates? (says the Texan who can't believe a Southren state could be so "liberal" and reasonable to do such a thing)

PBRSoap•

I don't think Southern states being conservative really translates into them being cyclists. We have a similar plate even here in South Carolina (http://pccsc.net/licenseplate.php) along with parts of the East Coast Greenway.

I live in Virginia and have had similar plates for about 1/2 year. No vandalization.

I wish that were the law in Washington (state). I can dream, right?

I will share the road, but only because your license plate told me to.

I just ordered my Bicylce Indiana plate. It was surprisingly expensive ($40 vs $25 for colleges and such.)

Drivers still fail to acknowledge that a cyclist taking the lane when there's not enough room to pass safely without crossing the dividing line is sharing the road.
