Red or Blue Bike...?

Postby Magical_Trevor » Sep 18th, '07, 11:42



Quite an odd topic, as its not really magic related, HOWEVER, it kind of is...

My question is, What colour bikes do you use? and why (same with other cards, bee decks, tally ho's etc)?

The reason I ask is, I use Blue Bikes (sometimes Red, but prefer blue) and RED Bee decks 9dont like blue bee's at all) so - main point of the thread...I am having my bicycle re-sprayed, and Cant decide on Red or Blue... ARGH!!! They both look good, but just though you guys may want to give some input as to why you think blue or red bikes look better...in both sences of the word bike :)

Regards, Dan

I use red bikes, not really sure why but I do.

As for your bike, I think you should paint it pink. :D

I also use red bikes and don't know why and I think you should spray your bike in red and blue stripes

Red cards are much better to sign with a marker on the back, as it's more visible. They are also brighter.

Ergo, reds for me.

As for what colour to paint your real 'bike'... who cares, it's your decision.

If I am honest, I use purple bikes...though at the last meet I went to, I used pink ones

It depends. Like seige says, red Bikes are better for signing purposes. Another example would be a colour changing deck effect. I always change from blue to red because I think it has more impact when a spectator is staring at a red deck that was previously blue, rather than vice versa. But that could just be me.

As for your bike, Our Lady has got it right - pink all the way. :lol:

In performing, I use purple bikes, as I'm known as 'The Purple Magician' (you'll see why if you've ever looked at my website.)

If I need a 'regular' deck, I always use red-backs, as they are more eye-catching.

I also like purple bikes (the cards, I mean :D ) I got a beautiful 'Berry' deck, purple and the Court card's images are good.

Out of red or blue, I go red all the way. Easier to sign, see and look more classy.

He did and had funny drinks with sparklers in and a slice of lemon on the side.

I am master of misdirection, look over there.

We are not falling out young Welshy, we are debating, I think farlsy is an idiot he thinks I am one. We are just talking about who is the bigger idiot.
