Pinkbike back by popular demand

April 2, 2008

Published by radek


Ok, ok, I guess pedal bikes are cool after all. Getting into Mountain Biking changed my life and I hope in changes others' lives too. We should keep Pinkbike going so others can one day experience the joy of riding bikes that we all do. Ride on.

What should we do for April Fools next year?

Pinkbike is not gone and what you saw yesterday, April 1st, April Fools, was a joke. For those that missed the previous years here is a recap.


April Fools 2008
Pinkbike Closes, and starts a Moto website instead
http://www.pinkbike.com/news/chainslayermoto.html



April Fools 2007
Pinkbike is acquired by at the time porn'ish site DrunkCyclist.com
http://www.pinkbike.com/news/Pinkbike-Acquired-by-DrunkCyclist.html



April Fools 2006
Pinkbike determines that it's audience is mostly male, so to correct this it redesigns site to appeal more to female audience.

I dig all the April Fools day changes. Especially the way so many people freak out about it. If you really want to get them, leave the 'new' site up for a few days. You know, past April 1st. That would really make everyone think twice. Good job on the jokes....

You guys should be hike-bike next year. A site dedicated to people who climb and hike with a heavy bike on their back, hindering them on their way. Scare the crap out of some of the non-regulars by having spoof petitions to close trails to be hikers only too.

Pinkbike should become an Personal Classifieds for Unattractive and/or Fat people next year. Quite opposite to the demographic of mountain bikers.

the blue was sweet. next year you should make it shut down because it is under investigation by the fbi for fraudulant buyers and scammers and will be under investigation until late next year and in the time being it will be closed
