Cycling Shirt - Opinions Wanted!

This is a shirt design that I am working on that may go into production at work. I have spent the last few weeks getting critiques from fellow graphic designers on variations of this shirt design. I realized I wasn't getting anywhere and started talking to folks in my target market (cyclists) and they all said they liked the simplest versions where the bike itself is the featured largely in the design. This fits with my personal design philosophy, but I wanted to get a larger sample size of opinions.

So if you guys could help me out by answering a few questions, I would really appreciate it.

1. Do you like the shirt, overall?
2. Does the wording make a connection for you, do you like it?
3. Would you buy/wear this shirt?
4. What color combo do you like, is there a different color you would prefer?

Thanks again to anyone who responds. As a hobby cyclist, I think we can all agree that the message of the shirt is worthy of being spread to the masses.

Yes it does and yes I like it.

1- Yes

2- The wording makes several connections for me.

3- Yes

4-Blue wit yellow images. Yellow with black images would be a nice safety color to ride in.

I'm a hater, just throwing that out there before I respond.

1. No
2. It supports the elitist attitude that makes our own community hate us.
3. No
4. I'm not opposed to cycling shirts, I like light colors for the road (I'm in Texas, the sun is bigger) and darker for going out.

Totally agree! I'd buy one, by the way, so keep us updated.

"Live better"....sound alot like Wal Mart's "Save money. Live better"

You may get a "cease and desist" from THEM.
