I love that 2nd quote. Funny story for all those "OG's" from 2005. My friend Sue is about 50, lives in southern California. She spent her teenage years and 20's in NYC, where I am now. When I told her I was riding an Iro, she asked, "is it fixed?" When I told her it was single speed, she said, "oh, no, you gotta go fixed, it's the only way to ride!" After talking to her for a while, it turns out she was riding a fixed gear bike in NYC back in the 70's. Whenever some "OG" gives me ****, I tell them about Sue, who was riding fixed BEFORE this city was sparkley clean and BEFORE they were even ****ing born. OG my ass.
