Every Jr High kid in my city is riding a fixie now

LOLOLOL


oh and the cat gif is funny too

Great for the kids, and great for cycling. You guys are hipsters, you realize that.

I'm flattered that you waited 4 years to make your first post, and it was to call us hipsters.

That is just incredible. Simply, incredible.

High school I teach at is filling with fixed gears.
No big deal, it IS great to see them doing something other than video games and eating.

Just means the old heads need to hold the line on the 'right' way to do things: I won't go neon tarck but will ride what I have with pride and show them just how fun FG, SS, Road, and MTB can be. They appreciate me doing it my way and they can add their own 'style'.

[Street rider]

They appreciate me doing it my way and they can add their own 'style'.

Which is what this forum encourages, right?

[thenomad]

in theory, yes. but in practice, no

[Binxsy]

I am the only one that rides a single speed or fixie where I live.

[broakland]

Those Keirin bikes cannot come small enough. Mash Histogram in 40cm anyone?

[hank0604]

Chicago was full of tarck bikes, but Shreveport, LA is always a little behind the times. When something is in style in California, people here will take about 3 years to get on board. Remember those Affliction/Tap Out shirts that everyone but the purest bros stopped wearing a couple years ago? Yeah, they're just now hitting their peak here. So I imagine it'll be a while before anyone here is riding fixed gears. Also, bikes aren't cool here. This is:

I love Siamese cats. Mine weren't quite that big tho.

If you think its bad now, wait till that new messenger movie comes out.

Eventually, kids will realize what we're doing is pretty dumb, and will eventually move on to the next "in" thing.

[Ultraspontane]

Good. I'm glad theyre popular with kids. This is a good thing.

When I was in jr high, riding a bike was very uncool.

Fortunately there is a roadie movie coming out too, and that'll be much more popular. By this time next year, Wal-Mart will have a full-carbon frame from Next with 1.388888" steerer, four piece road drops with 2200-grade components.

I think Ultraspontane is right though. More people on bikes means every driver in every city will get used to seeing us, driving with us, and not running us over.

[ThermionicScott]

Jump on the BMX bandwagon while there's still time!

In a perfect world: the DMV would require every driver to bicycle for 5 hours on city streets before granting a drivers license, as to let the driver gain cyclists pespective of how really dangerous this **** can get for a cyclist

On city streets Monday 7:00am or 5:00pm with NO bike lane

[cobrabyte]

That mud truck is badass. For real.

[Leukybear]

That mud truck is badass. For real.

Its greatest enemy is underground parking structures and drive thrus with low clearance.

[TMonk]

atleast that thing actually gets mobbed off road

unlike most excessively lifted/modded trucks in teh "bro" scene

[GENESTARWIND]

i still dont understand whats wrong with something becoming more popular? you havent explained that.
