How about this? I carry it around.

Note that Chicago law supersedes Illinois law in many cases, e.g., sidewalk riding.
I don't have a problem with the idea of flyers per se -- like I said, I've used the Bike Ambassadors ones before, which have the added advantage of being all "Mayor Daley" official -- but I was responding to the notion of a "Chainlink" one. I don't want to openly invite the deranged people who have a grudge against cyclists to pollute this site's forums, and to track me/you/us down. Maybe I've had a few too many "I'm going to finish you off!" threats.
And as for Critical Mass, we've had plenty of coverage in the local media. Doesn't seem to actually trickle down to the people in the metal cages, though. Remember, no one reads newspapers anymore...

That link to the bike card is the one I used in the title post to try to come up with a less fine print type of card. Like you said, no one reads paper anymore. I'm going to focus on the single message cards like the one I drafted up for the 3 foot rule. Big dummy-proof graphics was the whole point from the beginning. And this is a public forum, anyone can come and join. We have stickers and t-shirts advertising it, as well as some blog write-ups. If anti-bike people want to come on here, we can't stop them. If you want a gaited community, join chifg. I would personally welcome a differing point of view - the discussion is more interesting that way and might get more results.
