So who has the most zip-tied bike...Got to catch them all

Erm...
I have either 7 or 8 small ones on my road bike.
14 on a normal day, 15 for an uplift day, 17 for a race.
None, unless something breaks and needs bodging...
Isnt it a bit sad to be able to recount them from memory and have different configurations?
Hands up if you've ever bought zip ties in a certain colour to match your bike...
raises hand 😳
(currently only 5 on the race bike)
My commuter has one holding on a toy soldier that I found and a few more holding bit of old inner tube in place for bash-protection duties.
My MTB has quite a few, plus lots of duct tape.
Sad, nope. If you ride an uplift you have to zip tie your pass on so +1.
If you race you have to zip tie your race number on +3.
If you build your own bike you should have a rough idea of how many cable tie points there are on your frame.
Of course if you're a fat IT worker that doesn't really ride then.....
About 10 at last count. The PA uses 5 just for the rear brake hose.

no idea think my FS has two as Ilost the hydrauli cable clips none on any other bike and no Mr sparkle they are not the same colour as my bike

Did I hit a nerve yeti??
Ride a fair bit but have run inside 25 mins for 5 miles so hardly fat. How are your race stats or are you too busy counting zip ties? 😆
yeah, yeah surfer, sure you do... jog on.

No performances to speak of then? 🙄
Well to continue down the vein of delusion... I'm currently ranked #1 in the UCI World Cup 😆
Did the Dyfi with two zipties holding a sheared suspension bolt in place, so that was +2 from the normal???
Well to continue your in the vein of dillusion.
Pretty real actually, if a few years ago.
Also finished 7th as an O/40 in the UK over 10k on the road. Still not fat though as per your assertion.
Anyway any real results ? You did mention that a couple of your zip ties were for race numbers so come on how about sharing some real stats?
people we are now having an argument between two grown men over a zip ties thread ...a billion years of evolution for this 😯
Think I've got 8, in yellow to compliment my green on-one.... 😆
sub 25 mins for 5 miles suggests you are one of the quickest runners in the country, certainly elite level. I couldn't run one sub five minute mile! One day...

No. I ran it a few years back, hundreds of club athletes run under 25 every year, Lots inside 24 and even a few inside 23. I wasnt event in the top 10 in my club when I ran that!
One of my team mates ran 23:01 on a hilly course! clocked under 23 when he ran 28:15 on the track for 10k!
twinklydave i went into one of these chav car shops for some silver ones that chavs use to tie on trims to make i less obvious they arent rolling on alloy 😉 they went nicely with my brakes. as seen here

Hands up if you were a telecoms engineer over 5 years ago and have so many cable ties still kicking around the place you'll probably never need to buy any...
Rasies hand
Hands up if you want to start a zip-tie fan club...
Me me me
If only I could think of a playschool themed name
