Ironman Bike stickers.

I still have the tiny one on the front of my bike from IM Wisconsin 2010. You can't really see it, which is why I never took it off. 

But what irked me, speaking of bike stickers, is one that the Kansas City 5i50 tri made us put on our top tubes. It is NOT of the easily-removable variety like most, and the bottom layer is stuck like glue. I shouldn't need Goo Gone for a race sticker, IMO!

After a full IM it might be weeks until I get back on that thing  

The stem stickers are still on...They used to do much nicer stickers with the race logo....circa 2002 and 2004....still on my old bike.   The newer version isn't as nice... I suppose if they were an eyesore to me, they would come off.  Now, the bigger bike numbers and helmet numbers come off immediately.  I hate to see people riding around with an old number on their helmet.

So funny that you posted this!  I think of it as my bike tattoo.  I'll put the next one on top of the old one.  It's small, and a fun reminder of a long day(s)

HOWEVER, at IMSG this year....they didn't have it.  Are they getting rid of it?!?

My bike was misracked one of the last 2 years as they read the sticker upside down. Caused a bit of grief for my husband and volunteers.

The volunteers are looking at the tiny sticker on the bike stem and not the huge number on the bike frame or seat post?    Sorry, my little stickers are staying on...and I think if it says Ironman Lake Placid, the volunteer at Ironman Florida can figure it out. Have never had my bike mis-racked.
