I got one cause apparently you have to roll your cuff up to fit in.
I thought this was the perfect way to give my milky calves some sunlight.

At this point, blogging about your disdain for fixed gear bicycle riders has become way more of a self righteous hipster-"im cool because i dislike this thing that's so common" fad than fixed gears ever were. Seriously, how could someone "publish" this onto their "blog" thinking that they are revealing some grand new idea.

Yup, just another anti-fad fad.
When will people get over themselves?

There's nothing wrong riding a fixed gear bike recreationally or on the track, but there is something wrong when you do nothing but silly barspin tricks and skids. There's really nothing cool about looking like a colorful *****exual circus clown on two wheels.
Yet another wonderful bike bites the dust due to trend-chasing idiots.
