Does a defineable fixie culture exist?
I ask that not as a challenge but as a question.

Do I understand that fixed gear riders tend towards vegetarianism and Pabst Blue Ribbon Beer?
I'd like to know more about this.

I use a velcro strap in street clothes, but prefer road bike clothing, tights and such, when possible.
I ride with a messenger bag because I like a minimalist bike and it grates on MY aesthetics to hang anything on MY bike.
My next fixie, my ice bike, will have lights and a battery on it, and possibly full-time fenders, and that just makes it a nice contrast to my naked Pista.

I think about fixed gear bikes all the time.
I find other people's approaches to fixies fascinating, as well; whether they do it on the cheap, and take pride in building a working bike for $50; or whether they order a Vanilla fixie that costs more than my wife's car.

Brakes?
No brakes?
Cool.

The only real trend or quality of the fixie culture I think I've seen, and only from my exposure to fixed gear riders on this forum, involves an unself-consciously examined life (whatever that means) and pretty good writing skills.
Oh yes, double-entendre aside, pie.
I wonder if anyone used my Very Easy World's Best Cherrie Pie recipe.
I have an amazingly easy recipe for an apple pie baked on a cookie or baking sheet, with no pie plate, but I'll wait until and if I see some interest.

Otherwise, I think of this forum as the best forum on the internet, and I especially enjoy coming here when I need a mental health fix.
Kinda scary, huh?
