I've been pretty removed from society for a while (Rhode Island for a year and now the 'burbs) so, I rarely see people riding fixed (or riding at all really). The only people in RI that I ever saw on a fixed were two of the three messengers ( Yes there are only three full timers in Providence ) and the staff of bike shops.
So do a lot of hipsters actually ride?

WE ALL KNOW THE IDIOTS THAT JUMPED ON THE BANDWAGON.
They are ripping on non-athletes, actually anti-athletes, that will co-op any trend for the sake of "steet cred".
See: The Clipse, Mr. Me Too.
If you were riding bikes before you got fixed, and continue to vary your cycling enthusiasm outside of the fixed hub, then you are exempt, and don't get a rise out of this stuff.
If you truly are a hipster, and youtube is your girlfriend, then carry on. You make me laugh when I see you at the pub. And that's a good thing. It really is.
P.S. Kozik is the man.

I like how several people cite small penises, etc as motivation to ride fixed, the irony of course being in our use of the same argument against the SUV-driving faction.

Oh yeah, and I like how the biggest detractor clearly pwning all the fixie kids has nearly 45,000 posts on that forum. ...we're the losers obsessing over something utterly pointless?
