Bikes: various strays, mongrels, and old junk.

I have no fixed gear bike. I have a single speed BMX that I ride for giggles while I wait for child #1 to grow into it. All my other bikes have gears. From 2x5 to 3x7 with a few stops in between.

I do, however, have it in mind to build a fake fixie with a 2speed kickback hub with coaster brake. I aim for apparent coolness and not walking my bike up the hills (and down the hills) simultaneously. I don't want to be a hipster, I just want their respect without actually earning it.

I refrain from commenting on the USDA, Monsanto, Asian lactose intolerance, Leg shaving, GMOs, Vegans, or MTBs.

And if the King of Hipsters thinks he can order his subjects around, he fails to understand his subjects and the inherent irony that is part and parcel of that subset of western culture. Better luck herding cats, I think.
