Following the link on the back I found the Team Awesome website. I found out that the cards are the work of Portlanders Van Gist and Sam Peifer. The two friends say they made the cards to spread a message of thanks to all those who choose to pedal.
I also learned that Van and Sam are about to leave for a fixed-gear bike tour across the USA. According to their site they’ll leave Portland on December 9th and the tour will take them through eight states and will cover over 4,500 miles.
They say the main goal of the tour will be “to promote cycling as a beautiful and efficients means of transportation” and that they’ll be making appearances along the way and posting video updates on their blog.
