The Bike Code
Has anyone ever heard of The Geek Code? It's a way to describe your lifestyle with a bunch of letters and symbols
Well I thought it would be fun to do a similar thing for cyclists So here it is: The Bike Code
I'm sR+!% bR/F/T rE/R/T/P raR4 ld+mi so++ vP21/C16 c+/ m++% bb+ rSH rFE/AL rPR rFG rGL i!, myself. Let me know if you have any suggestions on how to improve it!

Wow... you sure you're still not thinking in geek speak?
I can't read or interpret any of that ****edy gook, nor do I have any inclination to spend more than a quick scan to do so.

I think someone here is a geek trying to impersonate a geeky cyclist.

What kind of bike code doesn't have a category for leg shavers? Geeze! I'd think that would be the first cut? You need to work on this some more.

Now, it wasn't quite a thousand miles, but closer to that than to a mere century, so I'd thought I'd round it up a bit.
Preach on, brother!

Let's see...
F0.5 = fixie half completed
0.5T = trail-a-bike
2T = tandem
KT = child trailer
k = 12" kids bike
K = 16" kids bike
1U = Unicycle
so+f = like riding with my family
g category is proposed for gear.
R = Rack
BP = Backpack
>GH = I'm working on a generator hub
AH = Air horn
V+ = Visibility is important - reflective tape, LD1000 tail light etc. (as opposed to V+++ if you are mechbgon or V-- if you only wear black while riding at night)
DIY = Do it myself when fun and practical (as opposed to DIY--- = pay for a bike shop to change batteries or DIY+++ = light system noted below)
Better run this all by moxfyre for approval before adoption! After trying this, I think it would be a lot quicker just to have a conversation with someone eh!
