I notice it a lot with some of the more loquacious mid-pack riders, at least in my area. Many of the stickers are clearly custom made to imitate the actual pro stickers on team bikes. What’s the deal here? Is there an actual practical reason or is this just a personality thing?

If you want one, get one. #onelifetolive

I have my name on all of my bikes. Some right on top, some in inconspicuous spots. Mostly just because I like it, but partly for identification.

As others have said for most people it’s a inexpensive way to feel a bit more pro and customize your bike.

I ride in some big groups and must confess to more than once name decals have saved me from the awkward “what’s your name again?” to that guy I’ve ridden with 100 times . . . . For pros its branding, for the rest of us think of them as name tags :wink:

I think this follows along the lines of regular Joes and Janes that have “Request to Follow” on Strava. Simply an overinflated sense of import it seems? I don’t understand that one at all…
