Overheard: "so me and Dan fixie'd over to Jimmie's place and smoked a bowl"

Has the word "fixie" become a verb? or is it another hipster thang?

the problem i have with it is that you're calling out the fact the you're riding a fixie.
who cares? it's a bike, you rode it, get over it. lots of people ride bikes, and just 'cause yours is a member of a subset of bikes doesn't really make any difference.

what's next? we geared over there, we recumbed over there, we foldied over there?

ugh.

The "smoked a bowl" part is really what makes it poetry.

I think part of the reason people are hating so much on the "Fixie" thing is because of the name! Me and my fixie, my fixie, my friend's fixie. Yo check my fixie! It is so darn irksome!
