Chicago Bike Flag

I'm looking for a high res image of a version of the Chicago bike flag. Does anyone know where to find one? I want to get some full size 5'x3' flags made for some of my coworkers but alas my photo editing skills are poor and I have had trouble creating my own version. I've already researched some custom flag making companies but I still need a 300 dpi image or higher. Any help?

Here's a vector image:

Vector = infinite resolution.

you might want to get ahold of Mike Keating (http://www.blogger.com/profile/13625915080407211406) before going ahead and doing that. Not sure if that's his own design or if it's free use.

If I'm correct, Mike won't mind having it made into a real flag. I had actually gotten it tattooed on my arm and checked with him before doing so, Mike had really liked the idea and was excited that I was using his image.

I actually have been in touch with Mike over the last month and he couldn't find his original file or higher resolution image so I was curious if anyone had anything similar they had also made. I was quoted by one of the companies to digitally clean it up but was more than I wanted to pay. The highest resolution image online is the exact one that "da' Square Wheelman" posted which is sadly only 96 dpi and wouldn't look good blown up to a 3'x5' size. Guess this will have to wait for now.

I can rebuild it for you, based on the image there, as long as it's OK with the artist.
