I like pink and I refuse to feel bad about it.

Even though it shows dirt and grease, I like my white Bike Friday because it can be "dressed" in different color accessories. I started out with a bright blue bar tape, matching blue Candies pedals, and a navy blue saddle. When it was time to change the bar tape, I chose red because it went with my red Arkel Tail rider. I could also go with pink bar tape and get some pink pedals, but that would clash with the Arkel.

I considered the white. There's a picture on the Bike Friday website showing a white bike with blue trim. I like white and blue - I have white and blue dishes, some Delft pieces, and a white and blue comforter.

My neighbor just bought my hardly ridden silver hybrid. It had some white and black accents. I cleaned it up before putting it away for the winter, and when my neighbor rolled it down my driveway and into hers, I was struck by how sharp it looked! It could be dressed up with colorful grips or cables (pink, of course, to keep this on-topic). Bike Friday has a charcoal color, but not silver.

Well, I would have wanted HOT pink, because that's a HOT bike!
What model is it exactly?

They only had one pink! I like hot pink too. No idea what the model is.

I like pink too. I love purple. I've had people tell me I am not the pink or purple type. What exactly is that?

Purple type: Prince, and poison type pokemon.

I had a pink bike -- sort of a dusty rose -- until my husband wrecked his and I gave it to him. He has no qualms riding it.

Ah! That reminds me of my friend! So we need to get Mike a new bike, but I get to the bike shop before he does. They have one that will fit him, but bike-guys says "well, it's purple...a guy might not like that". I say, "well don't say anything about it, if you don't mention it, he probably won't think of it".
I forgot Mike was a little colour blind.
He bought the purple bike and was disappointed it wasn't the colour he thought it was.
He thought it was pink.
: D

I really don't care about the color of my bikes, and that was an incidental part of finding a bike that fit me!

Same here, really. Otherwise I'd have a pink frame and yellow bar tape! I just do what I can since it's hard to find vintage steel for 5'4 me.


Thankyou all you lovely ladies for saying nice things about my new ride, and liking pink, and even not liking pink but not judging those who do! I rode 80 km today on that bike...I think I need padded bike shorts ;_;
My friend brought a giant bottle of beer to share and we saw a garter snake. Great day on a great bike!
