Biker friendly vs. Biker angst?

Ok, one more post, then I don't have anything else to write about.

There's this car than Fin and I pass a lot on our walks and it has the following bumper sticker:

This isn't my photo since I've never had the nerve to take a picture of it. What if they were inside their house and looking out as I did so and thought I was taking a picture of their license plate so I could steal their identity or something? I didn't want to get shot or sued or whatever people do here to people they don't like.

But in the two months we've been here, this has puzzled me. I mean, this car is proclaiming itself to be biker friendly, so does that mean my car is not biker friendly? Like, what is this bumper sticker implying? That there are people out there who get behind the wheel each day with the intention of running down some poor biker and they're not going home until they do? Honestly. That's just ridiculous.

I know I could go to the website listed and find out what their goal is, but I like postulating better. Anyone have any better ideas of the statement the car in my neighborhood is trying to make?

And I am one of them.

Hm. I don't really have a clue what he is referring, too.

But I am glad he is friendly to bikers . . . and wants the world to know it!

Heather is hilarious, though I am pretty positive that she was the one who almost killed me over the summer when I biked to work. That's okay, though. We're still friends.
