fixies are hugely popular in San Jose.. though I see more young mexican dudes riding them than "hipsters". Actually it seems like most young guys 20-25 ride fixed here.. I see tons of dudes riding the $400 IMinusD "make your own fixie" specials.. not surprising considering the IMinusD shop is here in downtown SJ

I sold a vintage geared road bike to a hipster couple from SF this weekend.

I don't even understand how the fixed gear scene managed to get popular in SF with all of the hills. San Jose is totally flat so fixed works well but i gotta think in SF you'd want some gears
