It looks pretty much like a Xerox of the think bike campaigns from britain dating back since the 70's.

I think that hits it right on the head. Whenever I have a helmet in my hand or am walking I'm noticed, pointed at, and leered at. I can't believe how many people don't notice me on my bike. Just this last week I was almost run off the road by someone who didn't notice that I was right there next to them... I was even in the correct lane to go straight. They had a right-turn-only lane and decided to just go straight.

Thankfully, the car behind me honked at them, too. I was confused at first thinking I had to be in the wrong. Nope!

Oh so true. Everyone notices us when we get off our bikes and go inside a store with our gear on but we seem invisible to everyone once we hit the road.
