Jump the shark so hard.

Exactly what has jumped the shark? Mongoose, fixies, Walmart, etc? Please be more specific.
Feel free to project onto the thread.
Hater.
Ex blader.
So much awesome.
No doubt. Seems like a traffic issue to me. Mass fixies. Yikes.
Fixed-speed =/= Fixed gear. It would be the ultimate in ironic hipster transportation if it did.
I was really bad at maths. What does this mean?
I've always said that this trend was going to die when a fixed gear was to pop up in walmart.
im sure if it is sold at Walmarx, it was somehow assembled wrong
$149? Isn't that expensive, like bikes Lance rides?
I got one to go with my walmart-brand hip-hugging jeans. Jerry was on the QA tag for both of these items.
Soooo...this could solve a couple problems in one fell swoop. Wal Mart shoppers becoming fixie riders and eventually killing themselves due to fixie idiocy + fixie riders becoming pork rind eating Wal Mart shoppers, eventually eating and spending themselves to glorious 'merican style deaths resultant from hardened arteries and Slurpee consumption = winwinwin.
I'm not smart enough with the internets to do it right...it was my lame attempt to make a "does not equal" sign.
!= is what you seek.
Here, I'll loan ya one ≠.
Does Walmart sell 29ers yet?
Someone asked what a "fixed speed" bike is on the walmart site. Here was one response:
The wheels are linked to a subatomic inertia stimulation substrate, which means the wheels never actually stop turning. It is locked at 11Mph and in order to stop you must dismount and lift the bike off the ground. Remember to wear your helmet
Sounds like some pretty advanced technology for 149.

or <>.
How long til the first trailer park initiated law suit? "This bike dont stop right...they said it was professionaly assembled too..."
While trying to carry home 2 36 packs of Keystone Light.
I was thinking more along the lines of, a kid jumps on the bike in the store, sprints to the end of the aisle then stops pedaling to turn. Of course the cranks keep going ejecting the kid otb into the wall of fish tanks.
hahaha its too easy! might have to save my hard earned cash for this one!
I hope they get surveillance video of that!
I have a feeling it isn't a fixie. Pretty sure they are just selling a "fixed speed" bike i.e. no gear changing.

Wired has a Great Commentary about it

I love the last paragraph , says it all !
We guess this bike could be okay. After all, the fixed-gear bike is so simple and so free of components that it should be cheap and good. Plus, as long as you put it together properly, there is almost nothing to go wrong. On the other hand, every cheap bike I have bought has fallen apart quickly. One thing is for sure: the days of the fixed-gear as hipster accessory are over. Thank God.

I think it is great polo. LMAO
I'm pretty sure nobody sells true fixed gear bikes fully assembled, save for true track bikes.
The liability of such would be too high.

What if you like to ride a single speed road bike on 60+ mile rides on average, while eating pork rinds washed down with Coke slurpees?
I might buy one of these just for kicks.
