Singlespeed/fixed gear slogans

Too true.

I mean I'm not against ppl doing whatever they want or expressing themselves. Just saying that things like this are the reason ppl in this "scene" are often ridiculed.

I'm just gonna repeat what I said. You've just repeated what I said but using more words.

I'm not part of a "scene" ;-P I'm a part of a loose confederation of individuals who share the same love for two wheeled bicycles that I have, though they may express this affection in different visual ways, who come together on this forum and in person on rides, to offer support, friendship, information, and also a constructive critical view based on their time riding bikes.

I'm not saying you are in a "scene" but then no-one thinks they are in a scene do they? Scenes exist almost exclusively in the eyes of other ppl (who consider themselves outside of that scene) and (imo) some ppl would see you a part of this "scene".

Well, quite. From a homophonic/aurally ambiguous perspective, 'scene' is the passive or the past participle of "to see" and so is not in the eye of the first person. Reminds me of the old slogan "Scene But Not Herd".

NO SLOGO :)

"Scene But Not Herd" thats pretty good actually.

Hmmm touch a nerve???

I think a couple of people have kinda read more into this than they should, the comment:

'it's just a bike with one gear not a license to cover your bike with silly 'one relly nice speed' stickers, beer cap stem caps, whiskey flask bottle cages etc'

I'm talking about a small one line comment to write on probably the chainstay in about 12pt text that 99% of people will never see and the other 1% will smile at. IF I wanted plain with no thought process I would have bought a langster or similar, I didn't I built something a little different and built it my way with what I had, and that is how I'll finish it, painting in colours I like with a small throw away comment on it that I want. I'm not trying to be part of any scene (hell I don't think I've met anyone else who rides fixed and have one friend with a SS mountainbike).

I know feel I'm defending myself for something I see no wrong in...

I need a beer!

My bike had a chainstay protector saying http://www.fujibikes.com so I took it off and underneath is a slogan.

"Fuji Bikes. Simply Better"

It's the shittest thing I'e ever seen/heard. I'd get he bike sprayed but to be honest I think I'm just going to buy a new bike when I feel I want more from thte Fuji. After a fitting from cyclefit which, having read about it, sounds amazing.

if it ain't fixed, break it?

I saw a SS the other day with 'Your Bike Sucks' on it... twas a larf!

"leeches suck"
"defecation is shit"

gynaecology is for pussy's

how bout the 80s band "gears for queers?"

possibly the coolest bike on fgss, now dead :

MrSmith it's the same reason SS mtb'ing is seen as a bit odd.
it's just a bike with one gear not a license to cover your bike with silly 'one relly nice speed' stickers, beer cap stem caps, whiskey flask bottle cages etc

SS'ing started out as a bunch of mtb'ers who wanted to ride around without kitting up in lycra, without calorie counting, without the roadie-esque clique thing.
It grew. Then SS'ers started spending just as much on their machines as the 'serious' gearies they mocked in the first place. The originality was lost.

My road bike has http://www.ribble.co.uk on it. Huzzah!

"fuck with me! and i will follow you home and shit in your slippers"

cornelius blackfoot what about
one for the road

This is my fav, mainly cause I use it all the time and never thought about applying it to fix. Genius.

lpg possibly the coolest bike on fgss, now dead :

did you take it for a ride :p

No brakes, No Fear, No Teeth

"My other bike has gears" so I stop being snubbed by the roadies. My roadie bike has enough damn decals, so no stickers for that one.

last man spinning

the wheels on my bike go round and round...

If you're reading this, you're paying too much attention to my bike.
Piss off.

my other bike is a bike

been thinking about getting some stickers printed actually

"I got your plates. I'll find you"
"Ride me"

and a much more comprehensive list: http://viki.gedris.org/index.php/Slogans_For_Bike_Shirts

reuse, repair, recycle

"tears for gears"
