I don't really see that as being a "fixed gear t-shirt". i see it more as being two bikes in love.
sigh.

upper playground is respected in sf too. guess everyone wants to make there $$ off it's rise in recent popularity. I can't wait till everyone gets into unicycles, there will be so many sets of 600$ colored wheel sets on craigslist. so many bikes have been ebayed, shipped to sf recently. ups must have a tired back.

I wonder if there's a threshold for creating new forums....
I mean, I'm roughly 100% sure there's more people browsing the assorted (sometimes tongue-in-cheek) "jaded purist" threads than the whole track sub-forum.
Just sayin.

Fact is the bikes bring a warm feeling of youth to people, so why not put one on a tshirt? Also keep in mind that most drawings of bikes leave out brakes and gears.

The shirt is undeniably sexist. What's that next to the fixie? A "women's" bike! Of course ! Women don't ride fixed gears, they leave that for the macho, manly men and their feats of daring cockitude. Yes, girls, Urban Outfitters prefers you are pregnant, barefoot, in kitchen, freewheeling with brakes. And maybe some star tats.

"take your balls out your purse and ride a fix already," I'd say as they pass by.

Dumb.
You'd think there'd be more complaints about things that matter.
