my hipster philosophy about fixed gears was proven to me tonight. my buddy who is moving to San Fran(which is hipster mecca in my eyes) told me tonight that I need to help him find a fixed gear for when he moves up there b/c he'll need a bike. I asked him whynot get a bike with gears? he says he'll get better exercise with a fixed. my friend does not exercise.

as hip and trendy as they are, they do look cool. I won't hate til I try it out.

That would be pretty funny. Ride around slowly in circles and do stairs and drops off brick walls.

Get over it. We're all bikers and enjoy riding in our own way.

They're riding bicycles! Isn't it cool that riding bikes is trendy?

It's good for the local bike shops, too.

this is a great take. I also agree with 2wheel and maven's take that bikes (of any type) being cool is a good thing.

I'm just joking around, I"m actually buying a fixie next month (although I'm putting a freewheel on it, and I will not be wearing the hipster attire ).
