David L, the new owner of my DFXL, has requested some changes to the stickers so I fired up the vinyl cutter. We’ve removed the small gold and black “Human Powered” stickers and replaced them with the larger white stickers. Here’s the updated DFXL.
DFXL 95 Gets Some New Stickers
Laid Back Log 
Dear Michael, I really love the stickers you design and make! I live in Holland and ride a traffic yellow DF XL 91. Is there any way that you could make such a set for me? gladly will wire you money for producing them and postage. Would be ever so happy. Arjen Meurs
Hello Arjen… I normally don’t sell my stuff. It’s not always the highest quality and I don’t like to disappoint. There is a a guy who makes velomobile stickers for sale. I see that he has made copies of my stuff in the past. This is OK with me. Perhaps he can help if you point him to a photo of an example. He can be found at: https://flaming-eyeball-graphics.square.site . Let me know if he can’t provide what you’re looking for.
Dear Michael, thnk you for the tip; I looked at Flaming Eyeball but your designs are not there and I think your designs for No Motor and Human Powered are neatly designed. Here in Utrecht I know a small letter-printing company which produces stickers. Could you please disclose the type you used for Human Powered and letter height? Then I can commission locally. In general, I think that your DF improvements are that interesting and I am surprised that Intercitybike Dronten has not put more of your inventions into production. Anyway, I love your tech solutions. Best wishes, Arjen
Sorry for the delayed response… Thanks for the compliments. The font that I use for the Human Powered sticker is called Raceway Medium. I’m not sure where I downloaded it from. The letter height is set to 20mm.
Thanks foor posting this
Hi I am also from Holland. I am interested in the decal DF XL in the correct style lettering. Would you be willing to share it? I am busy having G-swirls made for my wheels in Oralite white (this is the reflective material the factory uses) I have some left and would want the cutter to print some letters.
Thank you.

Hi Rob,
Your cutter person just needs to load the font called HarabaraNeo on to his computer. It’s available to download for free on many free font web sites. Then in his vinyl cutter program, he just needs to select that font then type the characters d f X L then play with the position and size of the characters. I use a program call Sure Cuts A Lot Pro 5 on the Macintosh to control my vinyl cutter.
Thank you, let’s see what he makes of it
