How do you improve on the STEEM Cycle? It already has everything but the kitchen sink. Do you add a kitchen sink to it? NO, that would throw off the aerodynamics! Instead, you add STICKERS! So many of them! Every sticker!
Specifically, vinyl stickers suitable for outdoor applications which I purchased from Redbubble purveyor of adhesive imagery representing every topic you can think of. No matter how obscure the cartoon, movie or comic, they have stickers of it.
I was kinda going for the same feel as Akira's motorcycle, with all the cyberpunkish stickers plastered to it:
Probably his bike would beat mine in a race. But I can compete on the sticker front! That's what really matters. Everybody knows that cool stickers make you go faster, that's just entry level sticker science.
"So, what's the other side look like" nobody asked. I'm glad you asked, nobody! Pardon the dirt. I don't really believe in clean bikes. A dirty bike is an oft-ridden, well loved bike. If you ride anything on two wheels, you know what I mean. Show the world how dirty you can make it!
The alignment isn't perfect, which if I'm honest, bothers me a little. But I can live with it. I'm pretty pleased with my selection of stickers and feel it's a good expression of what I'm about. Maybe a few Lisa Frank holographic dolphin stickers would've been nice, but hindsight is 20/20.
What will I add next? Sparkly handlebar tassles? A unicorn head? A basket to put ET in? Stay tuned to find out! Or use your time in more productive ways, I'm not the boss of you! That would be Tony Danza. The boss of everybody, his cruel regime ruling over a post apocalyptic hellscape in which the living envy the dead.
