Let’s talk stickers
Perfect to hide a scratch, or make a statement perhaps :-)
Do you have a sticker attached to your bike?

I have a bunch of stickers on my Priority and I want to sell it. I wonder if I should try to remove them.

stickers; in between the reflective skull/cog and Olympic Ass-Kicking Team sticker are the remains of a Spongebob sticker one of my kids got for behaving at the doctor's office about 10 years ago.

Over the years, I have covered my bike with decals representing all the places it has been. It looked very cool for a while, but now, many of the decals are getting old and crappy looking. i kind of wish I had a clean frame again, but removing all those memories would take away the "soul" of the bike.

Gone full out stickerbomb on this beast.
Pretty decent theft-deterrent and if it does get stolen, it'll be pretty easy to see if and where it ends up around town.

DarkShot:
My bike looks pretty much like yours. Got any ideas for protecting/preserving the decals when you put the bike on a work stand, etc.?

Saw a few that stuck out for me this evening on our Please Be Kind To Cyclists Ride of Silence.

Put The Fun Between Your Legs
Imagine I35 as a hike and bike trail
One of my favorite, most ridden bikes is absolutely stickerized. The rest, a few to none.

Picked up a BTWD 2017 sticker today from the "pit-stop" near my work, put it on the lid of my kittier

I won a bunch of 'bikehacks.com' stickers, one of which is on my bike, and last Wed. I added 'I bike Humboldt'. Partly because I like them, partly do discourage the tweakers.

Oh yeah; saw one last week at bike to work day; it said something like "it doesn't take a war to run my bike".

I took this shot to sell this bike. I didn't realize how blown out the photo is, I'll have to take some nicer ones

Not really, I usually just hang the bike by the saddle if it needs anything done in the stand. I've nearly ruined a few stickers because of it.

I have one that came with a set of fenders I bought. It is from this shop.
Sorry, it's white.
It says "dirty fingers bicycle repair."
I just always thought that was funny.

Dang, I rarely come across stickers other than the ones that come on produce. Although chakita banana stickers all over a green bike would be hilarious.
I can't post links but that bike is sweet.
