Like dice hanging from a rear view mirror?
Little dancing hula girl on the dash board?
I've got a decal of my nickname on the top tube, which I got from bikenames.com.

i coloured the white stitching on my saddle purple with a fabric marker matching the bottle cages. an homage to my wife. her favourite colour is purple and she is gracious enough not to be overly concerned with my increasing weekly mileage.

I have a small black panther attached to my handlebar bag. You can see him off to the right.
Plus I've got pins from places I've been on the front of my handlebar bag.

I have some customized scratches and scuffs on my derailleur, pedal, crank arm, shifters, saddle and handlebars. I Did them all myself with no professional guidance.

I have an Ubuntu sticker on the drive side of my Trek, and two USA Cycling stickers on the non-drive side.
I also have a USA Cycling sticker on the non-drive side of my Giant, and some scratches on its drive side.

Hardly "unique" but I have a pink breast cancer wristband on the stem of one bike and a black HTFU on on another.

I've got a Roland GX-24 Vinyl sign maker with every color vinyl under the sun and I've often thought of customizing my bikes but haven't settled on anything concrete to do yet. I've thought about my name or something motivational but I fear some bike I own will be a super classic some day and it's no longer original. Stupid I know.
