Pimp My Bike
August 7th, 2005 by CarlBikes must be BIG overseas… MTV has a show in Germany called “Pimp My Fahr Rad”, devoted to “pimping out” people’s cycles. Incredible… take a look at what they did to this dj’s ride.
You can read the full article about the show here. I wonder if I can get my hands on an episode?

This isn’t as pro-bicycle as many US advocates think it is. “Pimp My Farrhad” is parody. The bicycle was chosen as an example of something humble and not really worthy to be “pimped.” It’s mockery of the bike, not appreciation.
Now that I actually read the whole article… I totally agree with you. MTV is actually going to do a “Pimp My Scooter” in Italy. Unbelieveable… but I’d totally watch it if I could. Even though the shows are parodies and the bikes really aren’t worth customizing… neither are most of the cars on the US version of the show. Did you ever see the episode where they decided the guy’s car was junk and bought him a 2005 4 Runner instead?
i have a pimped up bike and i run my own bike shop and it is beter to pimp them up because then you are difrent to evrybody else my bike has loaded with stuff
