mickey--people must be nice where you live. Here in Austin, it's like you don't talk to someone BECAUSE they are another fixie rider. Just too many social stigmas, expectations, and judgments around the whole thing now. People take it too seriously, and that kinda ruins it. Same thing w/ the hxc roadies. The friendlies bikers I've found are the ones w/ the cheapest bikes. Maybe not huffy cheap, but definitely people on old crappy road bikes and stuff

Have you guys seen the dell laptop w/ the fixie cover? I think BSNYC wrote about it. It's a laptop and the cover of it says things like "fixie" "u-lock" "skidz" etc.
