I hate they are all jumping on this new trend
And their tight pans and fancy mustaches.
Cant find my glasses.......Is that a crows foot lacing?

Sorry, guess I have a little bad blood towards them after being hit from behind on my bike and knocked into an intersection by one because he could not stop.so why should we give a sh*t when a cvnt like yourself gets injured?
I live in the same town and I think there has now been a couple fixed gear biker deaths because of not being able to stop and generally not following the laws of the road.Yes. Trendy idiots who predominately ride fixed-gear bikes make my life harder and more hazardous on a daily basis for a number of reasons.
Isn't that the dude who also buys 2 pairs of every design of nikes ever? In some stupidly small size? Good lord he's an idiot. Your son puts up with him why?I'm talking about my son's room mate who walks his bike to the bus stop, takes the bus downtown, then walks it to Pioneer Square to hang out with his cool bike. My son can actually ride it, but said it's the most ridiculous bike he's ridden.

Oh they are real.I don't think I have ever actually seen a fixie hipster. I liken them to the Yeti (not the bikes) and the Sasquatch: I'll believe they exist when I see them.
That's kind of sad really. He has a BMX background but appears to be unaware that there is a whole other genre of riding off road. Maybe someone will clue him in to mountain biking, DH and FR.Firstly, I'm not sure I know how to imbed a youtube into the thread so if someone want to do that, that would be cool. Secondly, I will admit that I hate the image of a hipster as much as the next person and this vid only reiterates that persona, but holy crap this kid can ride a bike, not to mention the fact that its a fixie!
by the way... you might want to turn down your volume, the music is horrible.
Dude you need to ride around the U. It is full of them. Like a bad disease. That and the "doublestacker" bikes. WTF???The guy I saw had his cute messenger bag, converse all stars, tight pants with one big roll on each leg, and he had one of those roadie wheels that makes the wheel look solid instead of spoked.
The thing is, nobody really gives two sh*ts about what other people generally like to ride.... it's when a bicycle becomes more of a fashion statement than a mode of transportation that pisses people off. Such superficial "lifestyle expressions" are always laughable, but given the fact that this is a cycling forum, filled with a lot of serious cyclists with a lot knowledge and experience, it shouldn't be surprising they find these fixie homos particularly stupid.Fixies are fun. Try one out before you **** on it. Blah blah blab....
As for the fad thing, I avoid being lumped in with the douchebag hipsters just by blah blah blah...
Well said. It's not the bike that's the "problem"...The thing is, nobody really gives two sh*ts about what other people generally like to ride.... it's when a bicycle becomes more of a fashion statement than a mode of transportation that pisses people off.

Saw one guy downtown with a fixie riding back and fourth with only a front brake and no helmet with iPod in. Saw that accident waiting to happen and about 15 minutes later here he comes again behind a van that stopped and he pulled on his front brake, endoed monetarily, then smashed his face on the road after going over the bars. I was laughing the whole time from the sidewalk on my DH bike.
He showed balancing skill for about 1 second then got friendly with the pavement.so his endo was worth money?
Yes.you guys obviously didn't get the memo, making fun of hipsters on fixed gears is so last month.
anyways, why do you all care so much? does the riding of fixed gears by american apparel clad, waifish hipsters with pubescent mustaches really have any effect on you and your everyday life?
