The only bad vibes I've gotten riding fixed have come from roadies. The first dismissive scoff by a ****** made me mad, but now I just chuckle. I always nod or wave to anyone on a bike. I try not to get hung up on other people's hangups. It takes all kinds. I've watched people this past year or two "get into the fixie scene" and basically become like one person, same clothes, same music, same attitude. I try to keep my riding to myself for that reason. I'm not looking for friends or any kind of 'scene'. I just want to enjoy my bike, be myself, and ride fast. word. Anyone that shows hate towards bikers isn't worth the trouble of being offended by.
