Singlespeed & Fixed Gear - The Difference Between Us and BF Road Cycling

Bikeforums.net is a forum about nothing but bikes.

Is this (http://bikeforums.net/showthread.php?t=328155). Compare to "Strange Things People Say to You While Riding." It's almost like they hate fun. . . .

Okay, so this is the two wrongs make a right?
Or, one wrong and one "so there!" makes a right?
Let's just let the *******s be...no amount of logs or lewgies will right their minds.
Brothers, let us pray for our species.

Who are "us"? Many if not most of us post or lurk on other parts of the forum.

^That's the truth.
Is it so hard to believe that many people ride a fixed gear bicycle AND a road bike (and a mountain bike)?

They have way more cycling, or legit mechanical threads...I go there when "The hour or the TT" "Show me your pink bikes" "WHAT TOP TUBE PROTECTOR MATCHES MY SPOKECARDS?!?!?!" or "Girls on fixed gears!!!"
are the only threads here being replied to ... which is 90% of the time. Plus...my Fuji Roubaix RC should be here today!!
Don't you mean how most people on this forum just like looking at their bikes rather than riding them?

Hahaha... gold... But no, seriously... I think a lot of people around here have an addiction to bikes of all types. (Except recumbents... something about them just bugs me...) I for one constantly have an itch for the three main flavors, road, mountain and fixed. (Main in my mind.) So if we're going to start choosing sides, I'm going with whichever type of cyclist has the biggest guns.

Indeed
Is this (http://bikeforums.net/showthread.php?t=328155).
That thread could show up in this forum just as readily as it did the other.

Also, I think it's kind of funny that someone who has been posting here since July already has an "us vs. them" mentality.

Damn people it was a joke. I just thought it was funny that they had a thread going that seemed so opposite one that we had going. I check out that forum too, and ride geared road bikes whenever I get the chance. Chill out.

I spend most of my time in the mechanics and touring forums reading old posts. I can't help but drop by the SS/FG forum for a good laugh though. Its like my dirty little secret that I can't hide.

i don't think anyone's upset with you. if anything people are disapointed by some bad apple cyclists in both forums.

So if we're going to start choosing sides, I'm going with whichever type of cyclist has the biggest guns.I have said addiction to all kinds of bikes including recumbents. Great fun, don't hate on 'em until you've ridden one. So yes, I agree with the original notion that many, if not most of us frequent many of the forums here.
