Pinkbike back by popular demand

Posted: Apr 2, 2008

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 just read the comments last years drunk-cyclist site got. what a bunch of stuck up overly-sensible snobs; i thought america was supposed to be more open and accepting about sex - obviously not.

haydendmorrison (Apr 2, 2008 at 11:37)

Not really, seeing as their age of consent is 18 not 16...

downhilldro (Apr 2, 2008 at 11:50)

consent for what?

sirflipalot (Apr 2, 2008 at 12:22)

Exactly . . . come to Canada, . . it's 14!!!!!!!!

[Reply]

downhilldro (Apr 2, 2008 at 9:43)

slyfoxrcr09 (Apr 2, 2008 at 11:19)

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....

u guys shouldove kept the blue

luckxc (Apr 2, 2008 at 14:02)

teamkr (Apr 2, 2008 at 12:08)

I was getting quite scared

[Reply]

focofox37 (Apr 2, 2008 at 12:09)

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.

[Reply]

disem (Apr 2, 2008 at 12:14)

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

[Reply]

sirflipalot (Apr 2, 2008 at 12:24)

Well, then we'd be appealing to more americans then yes?

redridesrule (Apr 2, 2008 at 20:16)

have a notice that the government is shutting down the site due to aggressive and unsafe content or something, then on april 2nd, actually shut it down for a few hours... . that would scare people Razz

.... el.oh.el.

[Reply]

transitiondj (Apr 2, 2008 at 23:12)

i realy liked the blue colour of the chainslayer website im thinking that you should try going from red to blue not as a suggestion for next years april fools but for real

[Reply]

evanmott (Apr 2, 2008 at 23:19)

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
