Valentine's Day Card for a Mountain Biker

JuliaJ

Hi guys!

I'm new to the forum and I have to admit I don't know much about mountain biking (understatement of the year! ), but my boyfriend does and he loves it!

Valentine's day is coming up and I thought I could do something nice for him.. I thought I could make him a personalized card, something along the lines of:

"You're the cheese to my macaroni"
"You're the fish to my chips" (FYI, I didn't invent these.. )

I know it's really corny but I thought I could say it in terms he really understands and connect it to world of mountain biking.. The only problem is I'm a totally clueless about it.


Could any of you help me out, please? You'd make a fellow mountain biker girlfriend very happy!

Buy him a multi tool or some spare tubes or if he has a worn out tyre get a replacement.

Way better than a card.

Thank you delcol! I searched for a bottom bracket is (thank you wikipedia! ).. Do you think it would be correct to say "You're the bottom bracket to my chainset"?

Nicklouse, thank you for your advise! I was just trying to do something sweet for him but I really don't have a lot of money to spend right know..

Also, I'm sure I'd end up giving him something he already has..

Get on moonpig, customise a card with his name, photo of him on his bike etc, I did it for a mates 40th, around £4.

Seattubes and seatposts could be suggesting something a bit ruder.

Or possible stems and headsets (if he is a really lucky boy!)

There's a card on moonpig with a diagram of a brain, you can customise each bit with labels. I got one last year off my wife where the largest section was labelled Mountain Bikes, so that might work? Not specifically a valentines card but it doesn't say Happy Birthday on it either.

"You are my rear sprocket and I'm your chainset, our love is a chain that binds us together so our lives turn in harmony... "
Inside the card could be; "And everyone knows that love is best maintained when regularly covered in lube" with a dirty picture of you inside - being well 'maintained'

A "get well soon card" should do it.

MrGeebs

I think it should have been.
You're my bottom bracket to my crank set.
or
you're the hub to my wheel
you're the change lever to my rear mech
you're the air in my inner tube!

I like the wheel one as the hub is central to the wheel, as your man is central to your life?!

You can also customise the text (or spaces) inside Moonpig cards, so you could turn this into a Valentines card

And MrGeebs - you have obviously given this some thought (as have you bluechair84 but for different reasons )

I think I'm going to be sick.

I hate Valentines Day. :evil:

Thank you! I'm all for being cheeky but I think something slightly more romantic for Valentine's Day would be nice..

Thank you for your suggestion about moonpig, but as I am a designer I think he's expecting something made by me.. I'm just missing that small detail of knowing what to write on them!

Eeer.. You're funny but I think I'll tone it down a bit when it comes to the card!

Stevo_666

You are the piston to my rear suspension?

JuliaJ

I have a feeling that I am being trolled a liiiitle bit.. Guys and girls, any serious suggestions that don't suggest anything sexual?

bluechair84

Ah we're harmless enough, but much of the banter that happens in the crudcatcher spreads like septicaemia into other parts of the forum.

How about,I feel like a spokeydokey when you're a-round - it's a play on the word around and any reference to a spokeydokey is a win.

delcol

these are all genuine bike parts..

how about.

i have the nipples have you got the spoke.


sorry i'l stop now.. :oops:
