Cycling Safety Jersey

Hi there,
By way of introduction my name is Phil Skelton and I am a member of Slaney Cycling Club.
Following the death of 2 cyclists on Wexford roads over the last year, I was moved to set up a campaign to have the overtaking space required by a motorist to be clearly defined as 1.5 metres in relation to cyclists. The campaign page is
www.facebook.com/stayinaliveat1.5
This is in law now in 21 US states, 1 Canadian Provence and several European countries.
I am very pleased now to announce the Stayin' Alive at 1.5 cycling jersey (image attached) This is the first effective road safety jersey of its kind in Ireland, that not only makes cyclists more visible but leaves other road users in no doubt as to their responsibility to cyclists where it really matters; On Irish roads, worn by Irish cyclists. As the Stayin' Alive at 1.5 is a non profit organisation, these jerseys are being sold at cost price as charged by top quality Irish cycling clothing firm, Spin 11. At this stage I really don't want any advertising on the jersey as the message is much too important to have deviated away by other messages. I initially plan on an order of 50 of these jerseys but that may change depending on demand. If any boards people would like to get their hands on one of these jerseys, they can do so by email stayinaliveat1.5@gmail.com with size and requirements. I will then invoice a Paypal docket for a non refundable €20.00 deposit as per Spin 11's policy. The remainder is then payable before jersey is either picked up or delivered. These jerseys will be Spin 11's top of the range 'performance speed'- soft fabric, higher breathability,uv protection, flowing body movement and flat seems that most club riders use. The full cost of this jersey will depend on quantity ordered but should be in the range of €42.00-€45 which in my view is a bargain for a jersey of this quality. Overseas experience of wearing similar jerseys has been very positive, with users reporting that motorists were giving them more room, more often. If you require further information, please the Facebook page
I'm not in this for any profit or personal Kudos but purely to help keep cyclists safer on our roads.

The text on the back of the jersey seems a bit small?
