Now there's a bike tire emoji — and 30 others
There's finally a bike tire emoji — plus 30 more bike-part icons. Why we designed our own icon set for every component you track in Geer.
Ever wondered why the emoji for brake pads at geer was 🫘? We too, and we loved how quirky they were. They look like break pads from afar. They're just not in the same category of edibility.
Like the beans, almost every emoji we used as icons in the the app was something completely unrelated, which made it funny and... sometimes confusing.
And even for the ones that were related, one absolutely infuriated us: 🛞. A freaking car wheel. This is a bike maintenance app. We're for a world with more engineless 2 wheels, for the modern era horse and rider. Not gigantic machines of steel.
So we decided the world needs new emojis. Bike-friendly emojis. Emojis that remind us all of the beautiful details that make bikes these perfect simple machines.
Well, here they are:
Enjoy a new version of geer with emojis that actually make sense. And, if you still want the 🫘 or the 🔦, you can. Have fun, champ.
And keep riding 🚴💨
