I think what rocks about fixies, and those that ride it.. is we all are our own people. We aren't roadies, who run around in matching spandex to bike colors. Or mtn bikers who thrive on being "not roadies" You can even tell those that have a hidden fixed love that hasn't been found when riding with roadies or mtn bikers... we dont care what people wear or what is on their bike.. or how much it cost. as long as they are on that bike that's all that matters
