Bikes...

Has anyone else noticed they're thick i just picked up a few and they are like a third thicker compared to some older bikes they're HUGE and they are just as thick as E's decks

never noticed strange?

Really? How can you tell that they are like a third thicker. That is not too much.

yea i buy cards usually in dozens but im out of town and i didnt have any so i bought a pack and when i got home i compared to a different pack cuz it felt wierd and they are much thicker

Maybe the Bicycle company wants to make their cards stronger in order to increase sales?

maybe but i dont like i the finish isnt good enough for it to be that thick

So, they're not good to use anymore?

they're good but not as good as they were they need to get a better finish besides the UV-500 airflow finish cuz im sure E wont let them use it cuz then the bikes would outrule all their cards

Like wouldn't they make the decks weaker, so people would have to buy them more often, but I guess if people made them stronger more people would want to buy them, because they would get good reviews, but then it would cost Bicycle more to make the cards...

i only use Bicycle to perform with, i will use other decks only when i am going to be destroyin a card. they get worn out after usage but i still think they r the best for magic. (in my opinion)

What I meant was, maybe Bicycle found a way to make the cards.....

Oh, wait a minute, you proved me wrong.

in the end it will come down to the performers preferance. i like the finish on a brand new deck of bikes because they r very easy to fan and what not. and they r one of the most common decks people use to play games with so the spectator will reconize the deck as a normal deck.

Exactly. I still think the old Bikes are perfect though.
