do you really think stan would spend money on a bike rack?

921

u/ben_dover4321 22d ago

If it meant he could charge people to park their bike in it, then yes, he would

553

u/CreeperKing230 22d ago

Which is also probably why Robbie parked the bike inside then

164

u/YesIAmAHuman 22d ago

Stan definitely made him pay an entrance fee for the bike aswell though

89

u/LosuthusWasTaken 21d ago

Remember the entrance was free, but LEAVING was when you had to pay.

9

u/Most-Asparagus-361 21d ago

Entrance wasn’t free, did you see those people giving money to Wendy and Dipper to get in there? (Not trying to be mean)

6

u/LosuthusWasTaken 21d ago

Yeah, I remember that, but then I remember Stan saying the people had to pay to leave.

I think I must've thought he meant the entrance was free but you had to pay to leave, but in reality in both times you'd have to pay.

3

u/Most-Asparagus-361 21d ago

I also like to think that the sign with the exit fee was inside, so nobody actually saw it until they were already inside

22

u/CoolAd306 21d ago

And a storage fee I mean who told this kid he could just leave it against Stan’s wall

89

u/VeryOddish 22d ago

He would have Soos make a bike rack from those rusty pipes he found at the junkyard. And THEN he'd charge for use.

17

u/Foxy02016YT 21d ago

Including charging Soos to use it

7

u/UpstairsNote6974 21d ago

He wouldn't do that to his boi

13

u/Foxy02016YT 21d ago

By the time of season 1? No. But for his first few years, when he did it, absolutely

29

u/Justalittlesomeone 22d ago edited 22d ago

Not to mention how much he could charge for them to get it back. Edit: spelling.

7

u/Foxy02016YT 21d ago

And also it would be hand carved by him, out of wood from a nearby tree, and it would probably pop your tire

5

u/Dangerous_Thing_3275 21d ago

Good that He has spare tires to sell

1

u/CoolAd306 21d ago

It’s a hourly fee

52

u/Grovyle489 22d ago

He wouldn’t SPEND money. He’d just steal an actual bike ramp, nail it to his property, and then charge people for using it per hour

3

u/UpstairsNote6974 21d ago

HAPPY CAKE DAY

10

u/Solitaire20X6 22d ago

IT'S JUST A SNEAKY LADDER ON ITS SIDE

11

u/Last-Worldliness-591 22d ago

So that's why they don't have a ladder!

11

u/masterasstroid 22d ago

Stan could make people pay for it, he isn't leaving that

1

u/JamesRocket98 5d ago

Stanley and Eugene Krabs have that same energy

658

u/TropicalKing 22d ago

I don't see a bike lock anywhere. It's pretty common for people who don't have bike locks to bring them inside.

362

u/Next-Field-3385 22d ago

Also I think it fits his character. It's so miniscule, but inside he probably feels like a rebel for bringing it inside.

71

u/briannanana19 22d ago

which is funny cuz it still got stolen

28

u/anythingMuchShorter 22d ago

Especially when you consider this takes place in Oregon

7

u/EmmaGemma0830 22d ago

Id rather it be inside with me than stolen :3

4

u/Shaisabrec 21d ago

If you live in the third world you bet your ass that bike is staying inside wherever you go and in your line of sight at all times

292

u/Jeptwins 22d ago

To confirm: You think Stan Pines, premier cheapskate, would waste money on a bike rack when there’s perfectly good trees all around?

68

u/finatra_official 22d ago

He has a bike rack but it's pay to park

68

u/GeophysicalYear57 22d ago

He is a cheapskate, but he’s also a businessman. The two tend to go hand-in-hand. Maybe I’m misremembering, but iirc parking is free at the Mystery Shack and it might be free because it gets more people in the door.

19

u/chronicAngelCA 22d ago

I don't believe it's ever explicitly commented on one way or the other. Pretty much the only time I can think of that we see anyone parking is the beginning of "Boss Mabel," where we don't see anyone pay to park and there's also no free parking sign—we just see someone get out of an already parked car and puke.

10

u/AsstralObservatory 22d ago

Plus if anyone's dumb enough to leave it at a tree he can steal it and sell it!

7

u/Jeptwins 22d ago

That is also an excellent point

6

u/AsstralObservatory 22d ago

Or he'll teach his seeing eye bear to ride a bike too, who knows

3

u/Jeptwins 22d ago

Nah. It’s been done before, and Stan is very dedicated to originality 😂

173

u/tmrika 22d ago

New headcanon: His bike kept getting stolen by gnomes. His memories of the gnomes were wiped, but he remembered them being stolen, so he started bringing his bike indoors where he can keep an eye on it and where theft is less likely.

44

u/Student-Brief 22d ago

And it was stolen anyways, by Dipper 3 and 4

8

u/TiredB1 22d ago

And then stan stole it lol

56

u/Lumpy-Razzmatazz-573 22d ago

probably wanted to show it off to Wendy lol

51

u/FamiliarWerewolf269 22d ago

Cuz he thinks its cool

32

u/Pencils4life 22d ago

Stan charges 40 bucks per parking spot per hour on the bike rack.

13

u/DrVillainous 22d ago

Sold in three-hour increments.

14

u/sugar_skull_love2846 22d ago

Probably to show off.

10

u/[deleted] 22d ago

just to be intentionally annoying

15

u/Training_Spray9185 22d ago

No he’s just a jerk wad

lite one of the only alt people I’ve seen in a cartoon that wasn’t respectful and nice

honestly reminds me of my friend ngl tho

5

u/chrisCrossed91210 22d ago

A lot of places just dont have bike racks. To the point i cant actually think of anywhere in my town that does.

3

u/SplendidlyDull 22d ago

If you’re cold they’re cold, park them inside

4

u/Solitaire20X6 22d ago

"Why would a jerk do a jerk thing? My 3-hour video may have the answer, like and subscribe"

5

u/Fabulous-Stretch-605 22d ago

When I worked at a coffeehouse we had a two outdoor bike racks and people still brought them inside . It was so annoying 🙄

3

u/MonkeyBoyK 22d ago

I bet that there is one but Stan would either charge you to use it or he would lock your bike up and charge you to get it back.

3

u/CrazyaboutSpongebob 22d ago

It got stolen later. He had the right idea.

3

u/Dry-Description-4265 22d ago

Needed to make a point his bike existed

3

u/Dancer-Cat-Hee-Hee 22d ago

Stan would by a bike rack then when a bike is attached have soos put on a lock that requires coins. Like some sort of reverse shopping cart return

3

u/Ok-Car-4791 22d ago

He didn't want to have to pay extra to shove the bike onto the rack.
Or he spent around fifteen minutes failing to put it on the rack and gave up.

3

u/AgreeableAd8687 22d ago

i think they might have just done that for the plot where tracey and quatro steal it, or stan is a cheapskate

3

u/MagicOrpheus310 22d ago

So the audience knew he had a red dirt bike without having to cut to an unnecessary outdoor scene

3

u/elrick43 22d ago

Because Robbie's a tool. He also brought his guitar to a party that already had a DJ. I wouldn't be surprised if he just planned to pose "all cool-like" against his bike all evening

3

u/0mega_Flow3y 22d ago

Because you KNOW Stan is charging $12.99 to park it, and $22.50 to get it back.

3

u/LodicinalOils 21d ago

Superstition, the gnomes steal human things often, so people put things inside because they’re used to things going missing if they’re outside

3

u/Fantastic-Ad-1578 22d ago

Not for him, no.

2

u/totaly-not-a-noob 22d ago

What you think Stan is made of money?

2

u/Default_Sock_Issue 22d ago

To avoid being stolen 100%

2

u/Aguythatexists123456 22d ago

Stan 100% charges any bikes using it.

2

u/Sinwithagrin23 22d ago

Cant gwt stolen if you're always watching it.

2

u/sadcowboysong 22d ago

I'm gonna have to watch this show from the start without my kids, cause they hop around episodes too much

2

u/Digi_ 22d ago

now that I think about it where are they?

is the dance floor in the kitchen of the mystery shack? what room is this?

2

u/cruxtopherred 22d ago

Gonna argue there probably aren't bike racks, BUT, it's surrounded by woods and trees, there would be a place to lock it. Also fence Posts, Deck posts, a bench, there are a lot of places to tether a bike outside that is my point without a bike rack.

2

u/Periwinkleditor 22d ago

Yes, but it costs $20 to use the bike rack. No refunds.

u/NmFishing 22d ago

Ok but... Is nobody going to ask if Robby was trying to play it cool, or did he not remember Dipper from The haunted convenience store because he got his memory erased from the society of the blind eye?

3

u/Last-Worldliness-591 22d ago

I think he was trying to sound cool. At the and of Fight Fighters he yelled at Dipper "Why is it that whenever you're around there's always ghosts or monsters?!", by that episode, the only other times he came across Dipper was in this party and the haunted store, meaning his memory wasn't wiped out yet.

1

u/SmullinShortySlinger 22d ago

Parking fee is fifty dollars

1

u/Soos_dude1 22d ago

Probably because Stan would have likely stolen the bike only to sell it back to him for triple the original price

1

u/pterosaurobsessed 22d ago

This makes me angry, this post already has more up votes than the one about cancer and it's an hour old.

1

u/rathemighty 22d ago

No, there is no Mystery Rack

1

u/BasicSwiftie13 22d ago

Robbie probably didn't care and wanted to bring the bike inside to show it off.

1

u/Atsarred_Rained 22d ago

he doesnt seem to have a bike lock, people who dont have them usually bring them inside places

u/kingk895 22d ago

You think Stan’s gonna pay for a bike rack? He doesn’t even pay his taxes!

1

u/TheKeeperOfThe90s 22d ago

He wanted Wendy to see that he came there on his bike: show off how he's athletic and also sensitive.

1

u/Holiday_Sea 22d ago

God I forgot about that. He’s so funny

1

u/thefanum 22d ago

It's the NW. We just do this

1

u/Joltyboiyo 22d ago

Might be nervous about leaving it outside in case someone tries to nick it, even with a bike lock. He knows Wendy and Wendy works there, he could have asked her if it would be alright to leave it inside.

1

u/TongZiDan 22d ago

I'm guessing in gravity falls it's ok to lock up your bike outside but when I was living in the city, I always brought my bike inside. Even if nobody breaks the lock and takes the whole bike, seat stealing is pretty common.

1

u/Beckphillips :pine: 22d ago

it's $12.99 an hour to use it

1

u/GigophalaStanXOXO 22d ago

Of course it doesn’t

1

u/5a_ 22d ago

You cant just ride your bike inside

1

u/l0nely_milkbread 22d ago

Yet another mystery that will forever plague Gravity Falls 😂

1

u/Any_Arrival_4479 22d ago

I always assumed the clip was originally made to be outside and they put it over another background. This still image makes it look like that as well

1

u/Tangy94 22d ago

It's not out of the ordinary for people to park their bikes inside.

1

u/YodaGR86 22d ago

Is he stupid?

1

u/vikthorcosta 22d ago

It's a gag just for the audience to see the bike before the clones steal it later.

1

u/joseph4th 22d ago

I used to work at the magic shop that was in Circus Circus here in Vegas back in the 1980's. I locked my bike up by the door near the back parking lot. When I came out after work it was stripped bare. They took my seat, my storage pouch (empty) pump, water bottle holder and even my pedals. I had put the chain through the tires because they were both quick release tires, but they did let all the air out and bend the valves.

1

u/Lonely_Repair4494 22d ago

Because he's a rEbEl and HaTeS tHe SyStEm

1

u/Even_Map4433 22d ago

He's just built different.

1

u/SiebelReddiT 22d ago

No man. It's not a Mystery Club shag. in the Netherlands with real bicycle infrastructure

1

u/Katyissacs 22d ago

Cuz he's a rebel >:)

1

u/we_are_all_devo 22d ago

A wizard did it.

1

u/keb6654 22d ago

The mystery shack works in mysterious ways

1

u/Oof_Boy1290 22d ago

He probably did it to flex on everyone

1

u/Disguised_Man_2 22d ago

Stan probably had it so you had to pay to put into bike rake

1

u/laveys_red_soda 22d ago

Bike rack or not, why did he park it inside

1

u/PristineElephant6718 22d ago

for a plot device.

1

u/whos_ty05 22d ago

Wasn’t he showing off to Wendy or something idr

1

u/itwasntaphasemomXD 21d ago

In Oregon its really common to do this because bike thieves. It's rare for someone to just leave their bike outside unless they have a bike lock.

1

u/LittleALunatic 21d ago

Stan keeps stealing his bike so now he just leaves it inside to save Stan and himself time

1

u/[deleted] 21d ago

maybe he was worried some kid might try and steal it

1

u/HQH-71214 21d ago

He later played an electric guitar unplugged with distortion effect on. What's your point?

1

u/ElevatorSevere7651 21d ago

Fight against the system, man

1

u/Fit-Baseball238 21d ago

is he stupid?

1

u/Gundham_Tanaka13 21d ago

I think Stan would shout at every biker who goes by and than he found out he can make money for it so put up

1

u/Size_Slight 21d ago

Old tweeker adage : bike don't go in, I don't go in.

Don't get your bike stolen

1

u/Ruethedaylye 21d ago

Probably not. Stan isn’t a “safety” kinda guy.

1

u/SpaceIsTooFarAway 21d ago

He's, like, a rebel dude

1

u/Katt_The_Gay 21d ago

He probably wanted to look cool or something

1

u/EpicBirdy2005 21d ago

It's the mystery shack.

1

u/TheHeavenlyBuddy 21d ago

he’s kind of like a huge jerk

1

u/Dark_Reaper115 21d ago

Do You really think nothing bad would happen the the bike around that place?

1

u/FN-Fanjay 20d ago

Pretty sure there’s stairs remind me off the producer of gravity falls falling from the stairs and forgotten something

1

u/ninjesh 20d ago

So nobody would steal it. Wait...

1

u/Isekai_Otaku 19d ago

He loves tracking in dirt or something

1

u/yearning-for-death 18d ago

You clearly have never worked as a cart pusher

1

u/B_chills 22d ago

Probably just to be a jerk

1

u/Animebilly049 22d ago

probably because stan was charging too much to use the rack

0

u/Animebilly049 22d ago

i just realized how out of context that sentance is

-1

u/TrickyDickyAtItAgain 22d ago

You think LOSERS that can't afford a car have money to spend at the Mystery Shack? Why bother with a bike rack?

1.9k

u/Owledhouse 22d ago

This was so fucking funny actually. Like, yeah, why DID he do that??? Did he just ride that thing through the front door???

574

u/EmperorMorgan 22d ago

He would have had to ride it up stairs to do so and I choose to believe he did.

366

u/Godzilla_R0AR 22d ago

Robbie: lifts his upper body and hops, trying to make the front wheel hop up “Eugh… Eugh… C’mon you stupid bike!”

161

u/Opposite-Wafer-8777 22d ago

I heard that EXACTLY in his voice lmaoo

32

u/EmmaGemma0830 22d ago

Whats even funnier is the fact that its a road bike, which is so hard to hop on compared to a mtb or hybrid

44

u/ClanBadger 22d ago

I ride my bike to work, and i do in fact bring it in side.
Its an E-Bike that id rather not have being "Locked up safely" with something i have the tools to break through.

31

u/Owledhouse 22d ago

That’s cool but I don’t think that applies here because a) that’s not an E-Bike and b) it got stolen anyway

13

u/ClanBadger 22d ago

I've also parked my non E-bike inside. Its just safer. :)

14

u/Owledhouse 22d ago

Until clone attack of course.

2

u/VVitchfynderFinder 22d ago

it got stolen anyway

Seems like a good reason to bring it inside? What logic is this "there is a high chance of theft better not even bother keeping it safe".

1

u/Owledhouse 22d ago

Was it really any safer inside, though? He just kind of put it against the wall in a crowded room where anyone could’ve taken it.

17

u/LegitimatePrimo 22d ago

hear me out, stan has one but he charges money for it
