    I am about to purchase a 1971 VW hippie bus and a bunch of my buddies are going to paint it. I want one of the sides to be bicycle related so I thought I'd get some ideas from all of you. Anyone have any cool ideas?

    Let me know.

    Her name is going to be Scarlet. I might paint the sky yellow and the sun blue. : ) Deadheads?

    Technically a '71 Bus isn't a hippie bus..... but if done right it could be really cool.

    I know, but if I say "hippie bus" then people will immediately know what I am talking about...

    If you really wanna do this thing right you need to have someone airbrush a wizard riding a white trackbike like a goddamn unicorn. Front peace sign aerosp0k all up in the air and lightning shooting from his fingertips. Dude I'd cry happy tears everytime I saw that rollin down colfax.

    Yeah I dunno... you don't want anything too silly. What about the words 'ride with me or collide with me' down the side of the bus below a mural featuring a bunch of six-shooter-toting-bandolier-wearing gangsters (a la the bad guys from the Three Amigos) looking tough while posing on fluro fixies? You know... something classy.

    Just spray paint it flat black, throw on some gold aerospoke spinners, and put some aero bars on the steering wheel.

    paint it like a bike lane with that white stick figure bicycle and bicyclist. Maybe with a green background?

    More people would know what you are talking about if you called it a VW 'fat chick'.

    May I suggest a full length roof rack strong enough to stand on, with a bike rack, and a ladder.

    it'd be pretty trippy if you did up the one side like a nintendo (maybe even sega) video game interface of a horse racing game but have everyone on a bike instead...and i do agree with that dope ass wizard idea.
