This is my...Poké-bike

Let me know what you think. Would you ride this bike plastered with pokemon cards?
.
If you're curious about the 6 day process I've loosely outlined it below
.
But seriously tho this took 5 or 6 days and countless hours of labour to basically wrap my entire frame and fork in pokemon cards!
.
The process started with soaking the cards in water to allow the layers of paper to separate. Separating the cards was totally brutal. This was an experimental process (ive never seen it done) and took alot of trial and error to get it right.
.
When I eventually figured that all that out, I "paper machéd" the frame with a water bucket of mush at my side(this took 6-8hours). It involved alot of flipping and positioning cards and bike frame and I was stuck in terrible positions alot of the time
.
Once dry, I then went back over the entire frame with clear UV proof epoxy. 2 coats of that with drying time in between and after all that wait time, here is the fruits of my labour hahahhaha

This bike gets daily ridden back and forth to work every day, rain or shine. And most recently threw a harsh canadian winter so I can post photos of how it's holding up
