We take you into a back alley and rehabilitate your @$$. Really, I mean, c'mon, what fixed-gear rider doesn't want to do the equivalent of a roadie clamping down on his brakes for a second or two? I know that doing something a fixed-gear rider on the other side of the street might not even notice is highly indicative of the underground cycling brotherhood of which we fixed riders are all a part.

Wow, you've been riding fixed for a whole year. I'm impressed, let me jump right in and start skid saluting every fixed rider I see. Because hey, since they are on a fixed gear that automatically means they aren't a ******. Hmmm, never mind, see first post in this thread...

Yup. I work all day long. I don't take a single break, not even to grab a soda. Just work, work, work. I'm no *****.

Try and you would draw back a stump. I assume you don't want to learn to skid one handed, right? Nothing tickles me more than when somebody who has been on a fixed gear for a year or two tries to define the experience for everyone else. How darling.

I don't know about the rest of you posers, but I am WAY to pretentious to acknowledge ANYONE doing ANYTHING that I do, especially riding bikes, listening to music, and being a total b!tch about the things I eat.

I'm still laughing about this. I can just picture two fixie riders bombing down opposite sides of the street.
Rider 1: "Ooh, another fixie rider. I better give a little skid." scccrch!
Rider 2: *paying attention to traffic, barely noticing Rider 1*
Rider 1: "Gah. What a fsckin' arse."
Or better yet:
Rider 1: "Ooh, another fixie rider. I better give a little skid." scccrch!
Rider 2: "WTF? Why did that moron skid alla sudden?"
Rider 1: "Gah. What a fsckin' arse."
Or!
Rider 1: "Ooh, another fixie rider. I better give a little skid." scccrch!
Rider 2: "Ooh, another fixie rider. I better give a little skid." scccrch!
Rider 1: "Wait... did he skid as a notification of solidarity? Or to avoid a pothole or something?"
Rider 2: "Wait... did he skid as a notification of solidarity? Or to avoid a pothole or something?"
Heheheheheh!

we're all way cooler than old guys in spandex or 13 year olds on bmx bikes. . . . . "yo, what's up. we're cooler than these ******bags." Nothing big, just like, 1 second, you don't even have to get out of your seat, just lock it up and say yo. Good idea? If a kid skids at you, don't be shy, salute him back.
