na9]dunno who you're responding to, but I was just copy pasting from the dude's blog.
But I agree with the sentiment: Mikey is saying that hipsters on fixies are losers because they are stealing messenger culture. But the messenger culture that he is talking about is all about the bike, and the bikes he is talking about are track bikes. So by his own logic messengers are losers because they stole/are stealing track culture. All of which is just bull****, imo. Bikes are bikes.[/QUOTE]
Damn... My bad. Obviously Mike should do some research, he knows a few of those people I was referring to.
And yeah, I get the thing about messengers stealing track culture. I guess it's true if it's really all only about the machine, but I think it's much more than that.
Yup, bikes are bikes, and we should just ride them and not worry so much about what other people think.
