It's Friday. How about a feel good thread?
I, like many of us, always seem to customize my bikes with stickers. I'm a big fan of Sean Cliver and the stuff he does with Hookups

All common sense says that should have turned out realllly lame, but I actually dig it
Great thread idea. With the BFSSFG group buy build up on the way I was looking to throw a few stickers on. Are people making these themselves? Any online stores that sell them and/or kits? Do yall apply a layer of clear coat over them?

I got these stickers from a skate shop.
Skate shops are the Mother Load of high quality, laminated, weather-proof stickers.

i never make a conscious decision to put anything specific on my bike, but somehow the left side of my iro is covered in 'em. they overlap, arent' on straight, they're torn up and creased and aren't really for anything specific. lotsa bike shop stickers and stuff given out at alleycats. there's a couple of achewood stickers and maybe a converge one. ..i'm not really sure.
it looks awful and i really like it that way.

Ed was my favorite. I had all his shirts (still have some of them) and lots of his decks. I still have one of his decks in my room, with a monster throwing up into another's mouth.

I was just given a sticker yesterday for my bike that says 'I Ride A Bike. **** You!" Minus the censorship of course.
It amuzes me but I am not sure if it will make it on my bike or not.

my bike is covered in stickers, a cliche "one less car" sticker, a crank bros. logo sticker, a Leftöver Crack sticker, and a sticker that says BEWARE OF SAMURAI are what comes to mind. I think the best sticker is on my bmx bike though, "This Bike is a Gravity Bong". It's a song by Richmond, VA's the Catalyst

Fizik sticker on the chainstay, because that used to get scratched for no good reason.
A ze-fal sticker, another fizik, and some hollographic sticker (from some component I bought) on the disc.
Might sticker-out the disc eventually, or have it painted like a pizza pie.

Me too, Toy is the best
sorry for the potential thred hijack, BUT
I remember that my first "real" skateboard was a Toy Machine, in fact, it was an Ed Templeton deck too. It was a loooong time ago, but I remember that it had these crazy grind-king trucks with this crazy pattern on the bases, and black spitfire wheels... nice...

This Bike Is A Pipe Bomb
I heard various urban myths about people in London having their bikes blown up by the police during the IRA-thingy because of these stickers.
I have "I'm F**king Metal" on mine and Calico Jack's Flag.

ya thats the article. It was in Ohio from what I heard. They took this guys bike apart b/c they thought it was a bomb threat.
Rymodee from TBIAPB band is an owner of one(end of the line cafe) of the two vegan cafes in Pensacola (End of the line cafe and Sluggo's) the other member of TBIAPB is Ashley who owns the other vegan place in town. So it's a pretty big show whenever they play.
We got a courier service started down here too. Right now we deliver food, mainly End of the line's food to it's customers. But in september we're starting the business side of the courier service, delivering packages and other legal docs.

No. I've never met or communicated with him. That would be cool, though. I'd definitely buy a piece or two from him!

I got this sticker pack YEARS ago in Knoxville and held on to it.

6x3" of this doubled in blue, as a spoke card (i don't like spoke cards but 6x3" is too big for the tubes.http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v437/jonnywill/IBelieveLogo.jpg
and then: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v437/jonnywill/HPIM1014.jpg
and i've got a "that SUV makes you look fat" sticker on my Jamie Roy's rack boxes and a ZPG sticker on it too...along with Oklahoma stenciled in yellow.
i think thats it for stickers.
I've got a woman hugging a chimpanzee on a spokecard but it means alot to me and was getting torn up so i keep it safe in the house.
also this bike has a different bar/stem setup, and those kendas were skidded through in 3 nights.
www.zeropergallon.com is where the 0.00 9/10 sticker comes from, by the way.
