Singlespeed & Fixed Gear - This sub forum...

So out of boredom, i spent ten minutes or so at the tandem forum, then came back here.
Comparitively, it feels like a warm, peaceful, happy library in there.

This is all.

They ride tandems, sp00ki. They're stuck with each other. They have to get along.

I dare you to go to the recumbent forum.

i'm so there.

I went to the road forum once.

I have never dared go back... what a bunch of hateful, ignorant yuppies. Their attitudes towards women and the general feeling of insatiable materialism appalled me.

WTF? I just posted here and it disappeared

Try C&V. Generally very nice folks with a ton of knowledge.

anyone ever been in the bmx forum?

anyone ever been in the bmx forum?


Not since I hit puberty.

The BMX forum is definately an interesting one

WTF? I just posted here and it disappeared

I don't see any deleted posts?

I was hoping of starting a new forum for FG/Electric Bike conversions, this way the cranks can take your feet for a ride.... anyone interested?

The people in Touring are really nice for the most part.

So what does this tell us about the fgss scene compared to others?

It is funny and the b9board of bikes.

Irony.

I jump around from the Road forum to MTB to SSFG. They all have their own personalities and cliches. I think it'd be horrible to classify any one riding style/terrain as being the best. That would make this sport boring. Actually, for SSFG, is it a sport or a hobby for some?

Hobbie for most. But then also most road ad mtb riders do it as a hobby, not a sport.

Irony.

The whole post was irony.

Your misuse of the word is ironic.

Your misuse of the word is ironic.

It's not really misuse of the word.

I consider bike riding a sport. There is no win or lose, but it is still a sport. If I practice hockey by myself in my backyard, is that sport or is it hobby? I say the former.

The B9board of bikeforums?

MOAR LYKE /B/ikeforums




This place has gotten seriously stupid. And I love stupidity. But the ol' time people who could provide a wealth of interesting and useful knowledge and have been replaced by idiot teenagers accusing me of being a hipster.

The clyde/athena sub is both inspiring and depressing. Discuss.

Shut up, you stupid hipster. Your bike is not a fashion accessory.

This section is nuts because the average age of the fixed gear rider is probably lower than that of the average tourer/tandem rider/etc. It has nothing to do with the type of bikes we ride, its just that young men get in fights.

Hence why we're collectively smarter than the BMX forums, yet WAY dumber than C and V and framebuilding.

I really like it here. Its blatantly obvious who knows or cares little about riding fixed gear bikes beyond the coolness aspect. Makes it real easy to disregard what most people here say and find the helpful bits.

There are lots of cool (and hardcore) people in the long distance forum.

I used to post in the tandem subforum. Then I realized it's almost as deserted as the winter cycling subforum. Friendly? Sure. But boring.

I like it here. There's a good deal of ******bags, but also a great deal of cool folks that I would feel happy to hand around in real life as well. And I like the whole dynamic of SSFG.

i love everyone on ssfg.

The MTB forum is so boring... I try to go there but the only discussion is by one person who repeatedly posts pictures of his bike. They never seem to actually talk about riding or even components.

I just press the "view new posts" button and reply to whatever seems interesting. Bikes are good, I am less concerned with the type.

I have been spending too much time in the cross bikes pictures thread, though. Man I want a cross bike.

i love everyone on ssfg.

i love you to man

I'm going to keep posting here until I finally hook up with a tattooed art school girl.

Me too, I'm gonna buy a Phantom Cross pro this summer hopefully, let's go get our asses kicked in Gloucester next fall.

This is the internet. If someone is being nice to you they are probably trying to **** you. All the personal attacks and lack of niceties on SSFG makes me feel safe.

hahahaha, great stuff

^^new sig ftw

A&S and Road Cycling are good for laughs, I like Commuters because they seem to see the bike solely as a tool, Touring because they are hardcore, and SSFG for the shiny, pretty builds.

Whatever happened to frameforum.net? Really liked that bboard.

the funny thing is that most of us would probably get along in person. the computer is a common medium on which to alter your personality to an exagerated degree, thus causing bravado to take away from the better part of each of us. we've all been called a hipster. but are we? do we do more on our bike than just go to the grocery store, or coffee shop? most of us i would think have girlfriends, so it's not for the poon-tang. i mean really. wouldn't you rather be hurt in a crash trying to protect what you devote your life to, the reason you've spent all that money, rather than the bike getting f-d up? maybe somebody should just start a beef thread, where you can say whatever you want. a thread where nothing gets deleted by a mod, and have a disclaimer saying it's not safe for work, or at your own risk. maybe it would help the other threads become more relevant and helpful. or you can all go to hell. either way.

They still make PBR in those pounder bottles?

I agree, other than the me getting f'ed up to protect my bike. Bikes are replaceable and I'm not. Same goes for the rest of you.

dude i just bought a sweet as NJS stem! screw those yuppies and their materialism!

They're not that great. Most of the art school chicks i know are some of the dullest people i've ever met. And the one I made out with that one night was a horrible kisser and bit my lip really hard.

that being said, i'd hit that.

good work everyone

who wants to drive by the other forums and yell cusses at them cus i'm going man.
