cool is a state of mind, not a successful attempt at "coolness"
The problem is in your perception. I don't see someone trying to be cool with the zebra bike, I see someone trying to bring a little whimsy to the world and put a smile on people's faces.
But you are so hide-bound and so very enamored with Germany, I'm not surprised at your view. You're wrong though. If it were a spare, unadorned fixie, then you'd be right, that's someone trying to be cool.
