Stupidest Bike Accessory Ever

[divingbiker]

No... I never find nice red bikes that fit for reasonable prices. *sniffle*

But 3 of them have red tires! 3 of them have red handlebar tape or grips.

2 of them are naked titanium, so I could powdercoat eventually, but that seems to be a shame.

1 of them is black, so I put red flame stickers on it.

1 is black with red lettering.

The blue one's getting sold. The best I could do with it was give it shiny silver tires & silver handlebar tape.

All I want is a red kayak, as well. But I just end up with shades of blue for those.

What an amateur!

I've got five bikes--three are red, one is pink, and one is boring silver.

And I've got a red kayak.

Keep practicing, you'll get there.

Wow.

You're like a goddess and I'll aspire to be you. Except for the pink bike. So I'll aspire to be 2/3rds of you.

The BF refuses to make the wood kayak he's making me red. Even if I'll like it better.

and it is indeed a beauty

I have a red kayak and my last 5 cars have been red, but none of my bikes are. I would love a red bike.

*oh, wait...my FIRST bike was red. yee ha!

Mimi told me you can never have too many bikes. One of my cycling friends says never sell your old bike -- it's like parting with your best friend.

So I have 4 bikes and I just put a down-payment on number 5.

The basement bike room is full -- no more bikes until I get a new house! A bigger garage is the best bike accessory.

I rode my old bike (the one I was planning to sell) this evening... It didn't feel like my bike anymore, just the new 2 fit so much better and are so much more comfortable.

I think it's time to find it a home with someone who appreciates it more. And it's blue. Blech.

You aren't dumb. There's nothing in the FAQ that says "search before asking questions." Some groups do communicate that in one way or another; others don't. I'd be very surprised if the people who run this group want the cranky attitude of old Usenet days. This forum is, after all, a marketing tool.

In addition, there's a section for "New Riders" which implies that beginners are welcome. Welcoming beginners would of necessity include welcoming beginner questions.

Searching before posting is a good idea; but there are valid reasons for asking questions again, and there is nothing that I can find in the FAQ that says "don't ask anything that might have been asked before." No one is forced to provide an answer if they don't want to, after all.
