Bicycle Board Members,
With 7 members voting in the second election, the winning tag line for the Confident City Cycling business card is "Lose Your Fear and Learn to Ride with Confidence". I hope Gary can make it fit.
Following was the final vote tally: 0 for A. Tame your fear with riding skills that reduce the risk of collisions or accidents 6 for B. Learn to Ride with Confidence 3 for C. Tame Parental Fears 0 for D. Learn to Ride without Fear 3 for E. Ride with Confidence 9 for F. Lose Your Fear and Learn to Ride with Confidence
In summary, we will use card design #3, change the tag line to "Lose Your Fear and Learn to Ride with Confidence" and put the 5 steps to riding better on the back side.
Frank

That would be good and the copy under the bullets could be edited to fit.

I propose that on the back side of the card we have something really helpful. Like- http://bikemorgantown.com/biketips.php
The attached Word doc has the 5 steps at 5.5 point font fit on 3.5 in x 2.5 in biz card space. I made two very minor wording modifications to make it fit: 4th bullet under #1, deleted "Always"; replaced "and" with "&" 3rd bullet under #2, changed "...reflector. Wear reflective tape or clothing" to "reflector and wear reflective clothing".
I printed it and can barely read it but can read it. We'd have to be careful that it is printed on the right kind of card stock to make the print sharp and durable.
I wonder what Gary thinks/would advise.
"Lose your Fear and Learn to Ride with Confidence"
I would have voted for that one!
Can we have another election?
Sure we can have another election. First, I would observe that if less than seven people, the number that voted in the previous election vote in the second election, that the second election is not valid because it's less representative of the BB membership than the first election.
Second, I would recommend that the following be our choices: A. Tame your fear with riding skills that reduce the risk of collisions or accidents B. Learn to Ride with Confidence C. Tame Parental Fears D. Learn to Ride without Fear E. Ride with Confidence F. Lose Your Fear and Learn to Ride with Confidence
Third, to get clear discrimination I would suggest that each member get 3 votes. Let's try it and see how it works.

Oh crap! I forgot to vote, unless you considered my suggestion of B to be my vote! Well it won anyway, or because, or something. I think.

You can give them both to one of the choices below or distribute your votes to two of the following. A. Tame your fear with riding skills that reduce the risk of collisions or accidents B. Learn to Ride with Confidence C. Tame Parental Fears D. Learn to Ride without Fear E. Ride with Confidence Please reply with your votes. For example, if you want to give both of your votes to C, please reply "2 for C". Another example, if you want to distribute your 2 votes to B and D, reply "1 for B and 1 for D".

Bicycle Board Members,
The winning card design is #3. With 10 votes in, designs #1 & #2 were tied with 3 votes and design #3 got 4 votes.
Now, what should the tag line say? I think the discussion was excellent. Following are the offerings in chronological order. I was hoping the discussion would continue until we converged on consensus.
Confident City Cycling - • Learn to Ride without Fear • Ride with Confidence • Learn to Ride with Confidence • Tame your fear with riding skills that reduce the risk of collisions or accidents • Tame Parental Fears
If nobody continues the discussion on these by next Tuesday, I will ask for a vote on them.
Frank

Bicycle Board Members,
Thanks again to Gary Rodosta for creating the attached options for Confident City Cycling business cards. There are 4 options in the attached file. Please vote for the one that you think would be best for making available at local bike shops and other venues at which to advertise our bicycling education program. Since number 4 is basically a black & white version, please just vote for 1, 2 or 3.
Based on your votes, I'll take the winner to the printer by the end of this week.
