Speaking of colour, why isn't white the most popular bicycle colour? Discuss.

Blue is best for bikes. Sneaky, stealthy fast.

Currently a half acre, compared to my previous home when I first got the mower, which was on 3/4 acre. Just 30 minutes for a cut even with all the obstructions like multiple flower beds.

When we lived in The Richmond in SF, the Blue Angels would always perform over Crissy Field during Fleet Week. They'd make a pass over the crowd and then have to go out over The Richmond and The Sunset to get turned around. So we got a lot of lowish altitude flyovers. Our place had a view all the way across town, even as far as the East Bay, so we'd see 'em coming. Pretty cool!

Mrs. GeneJockey is a big fan of white for cars, but the Challenger in white just looks HUGE. Much better in blue
4 of my 7 bikes are blue, but only the Ritchey was intentional. When I bought it, it was white. After I'd had it for 10 years, I had it repainted by the guy who used to paint all of Ritchey's frames, back when they were built in the US.
Blue is best for bikes. Sneaky, stealthy fast.
