bicycle frames have surfaces too small for big easily legible stickers. /n/ doesn't ride for any kind of utility so no one has hard panniers suitable for meme stickers. And most of /n/ are brand-obsessed losers who would shudder at the thought of covering any of the manufacturer's stickers/rollmarks/etc on their 5200$ off-the-rack retiree bike

but really it's that bikes don't have a ton of big flat surfaces suitable for stickers like other hobby items do

I feel like a sticker bombed fixie is iconic?
But also, all the old steelies had stickers proudly displaying their material, hence these fake ones

>iconic
you are OLD and even then not really, fixie riders are obsessed with "clean" aesthetics now. it's why they ride fixies in the first place, they view basic bike features as "bloat"

>But also, all the old steelies had stickers proudly displaying their material, hence these fake ones
yeah but they're small and hard to see and usually in a spot that would require actively looking for it, and harder to get the joke at a glance than just straight up having an e621 logo on your back window or "+5HP" on a car spoiler where it's more visible when parked. a material/warning sticker is usually on top of the top bar near the handlebars so no one is seeing that shit while it's in motion and the only person looking that hard at your bike while it's parked is going to steal it.

bikes just don't have good surfaces/positions for stickers so thats why you dont see much more than people stickerbombing with dollar store generic cute stuff to completely cover the frame, or MAYBE a bumper sticker on a cargo rack (assuming the rider even has one)

patches would work since you can throw em on your backpack/saddlebags/etc but patches are inherently more expensive or require a more complex home machine to make, so they don't flood the place like how you can make stickers on a cricut for a buck each. and the type of person buying a bike off the rack from Giant every time their chain tension feels wrong probably isn't interested in sewing (and iron-on patches are NOT real, that shit always falls off within a month)

this is cool.
I've posted pic related before but back in the steel era, when the idea that fancy steel had decals and apparently even normies were checking for them, Raliegh made a fakeout sticker so people would think their hi-ten gaspipe was Reynolds cro-mo
