It's over
 

Fixed Gear is officially no longer cool. Wall Street Journal had an article on Fixed Gear on the front of today's Weekend Edition. Now way too mainstream to be cool.

good

Haven't you heard? Mixte three speeds are the new fixed gear. With pink Phil's of course.

Speaking of wall street journal types, everytime when I ride to work on the bike path there is some dude on a segue.
Is it okay to clothes line him as I ride by?

yes

Thanks.

If you ride (or walk with) a fixed gear to be cool, then you might be one of those mystical "hipster" creatures that gets talked about often here.

Dude, it won't be dead until Ashton Kutcher gets a fixie. He can single handedly drive any trend into the ground.

walking with a fixed gear means always taking steps of the same size, and never stopping immediately or making sharp turns without hopping up and down, and never EVER wearing roller skates.

hey man that dude from saved by the bell is already riding fixed

My lbs started selling segways. soooo f*ing lame. They're gonna be the new fanny pack.

Your bike shop is selling them?
I think that would be enough for me to write a shop off.
(Is that how you spell it? Segway? Not "sugue" as in "making a transition")

Yeah, but it gives you such a zen-like feeling of connection between you and the pavement, man. I'm thinking about walking my fixie barefoot too. Shoes are the ****ing worst.




Mode:Pedant (by the way, it IS Segway, and the correct spelling of the word related to transition, is segue, not sugue) /pedant

Ah, yes.
That 2nd time was a typo.
I got it right the first time.

I'm getting a burro.

mmm burrito

yo! i rock a fanny pack! don't you dare compare it to a segway! fanny packs are the new apathy.

edit: i also saw THE KING walking his ride up the williamsburg bridge the other day. sometimes ya just gotta stroll.

Hm. really?

Wow no longer cool, I am selling all of my gear now. Damn just when it was getting fun.


S/F,
CEYA!
Strength and Honor!!

ceya - i will give you twenty dollars for everything.

Is there an advantage to wearing those shants vs. wearing shorts? I know the reason why you would not wear pants, but am not informed enough to know why one would not just wear shorts. And for the record, I ask in earnest.

ugly knees.

seriously though. shants are a bit warmer than shorts. they are for spring and fall. shorts are for summer.
my shants (the chrome ones) also have built in padding, awesome pockets, and are comfy as ****. plus they are tough as hell.

so yeah, i wear shants and rock a fanny pack.

Carson Daly rides a track bike. Its a Nagasawa, no joke.
