alright. here we go....
i don't ride fixed gear anymore. well, sometimes, like when i have to go buy cat food, or go to work, i'll ride my fixie. but most of the time, i'm riding my trek 600 'cross/touring bike. why? because it's practical and comfortable, and because i like to be able to coast and shift and such. i like bikes, period. i pretty much have one of each kind of bike you could name. when i was into fixed gear, it was because i liked riding bikes, and that happened to be the only bike i had at the time that wasn't a 20", with chrome rims that stopped like crap in the rain.
i don't really give a crap what kind of bike anybody rides, as long as they're riding. i liked fixies/single speeds because the culture was a bit more, "punk rock/diy," i'm sure there are still some kids around converting their own bikes and learning about it via other resources than the internerd, hitting up the bike kitchen, or bnb, or their local co-op, and more power to them, and doing it because it's cheap, and it's honest and it's something they want to do for themselves. but honestly, i'm so ****ing tired of the track bike as status symbol. it's a damn bike for christsakes. and a pretty impractical one for getting around town at that.
ride your bike. love your bike. ride whatever you want, just don't think you're the bees knees for riding fixed. it's been done to death, and it's not cool to exclude people.
