I disagree. I can't be a fixie fetishist, I don't own a fixie, though I do have one in production. I like to ride fast, but I don't own any lycra, and I'm not part of a club. I do commute though. People do all sorts of different things on their bikes, which may affect what they have to say here. I like vintage bikes - I post on the Vintage forum. My commuter bike is a 70's Falcon - does that mean I shouldn't post here? Because it's from the 70's, does that mean if I tell people it's a really good commuter, and was cheap, you'll tell me to get back to the Classic and Vintage forum?

There are people here who commute who like to ride fast, who wear lycra, who like mountain bikes, who like alt bikes, who like fixies, but they all commute. I could quite genuinely say that I don't think some 9 ton coaster brake cruiser is suitable for commuting, and that if you like those, you probably belong on a different list somewhere, but then, that would make me an ass, wouldn't it? If that's what you ride, and that's how you commute, then you belong here.

Do you agree or disagree that you may just be another elderly conservative american who thinks that anyone who does things different from you is inherently bad?
