Yeah, I dont give a flying **** what anyones riding as long as theyre having fun doing it

EXACTLY!! I try not to judge someone by the bike they ride or how they are dressed. I own four different bicycles myself at this time not counting the wife or the kids bikes. I have a Cannondale Capo switched to a fixie with a set of tt bars added and the rear brake removed. I have a Specialized Rockhopper. I have a Cannondale touring bike that I have rode over 700 miles in a week on before. And I have a Cannondale Black Lightning that I can average 22 mph on and finish a century in under 5 hours.
I love riding them all whether I am buzzing the single track trail on my rockhopper or beating the whole bike club group to where we eat breakfast on our Saturday morning ride on my fixie. So when I am riding my fixie I dont think some guy on a mountain bike must be a moron.
My touring bike is also used to commute back and forth to work each day. No fenders or bag on my fixie. I wear my jeans and t-shirt while riding it then. If I go long distance I will be wearing spandex.
My fixed has a 48 x 16 gearing. I chose that because this area is fairly flat and I like to go fast. However in my opinion going fast means one had better have a brake.
So to each their own. I don't have any one style and don't expect anyone else to either. I just love riding a bike. I have rode as many as three of my bikes in one day before.
