Fixed gear + popular culture.
 

Fixed gear bikes show up in the weirdest places. Where have you seen one? For instance, I found this bike while playing through the video game Mirror's Edge.

GT triangle bike? How's that game?

An E-trade commercial. The guy at his computer has one sitting behind him.

That game's ridiculously hard. Not bad when you get used to it.

Holy shlt that made me lol.
I haven't seen that particular commercial but I'm sitting here at a Starbucks with my mini laptop logged onto E*Trade checking to see how much money I lost overnight, next to my FG. :lol:

It's really fun so far. I love the Target aesthetic and the minimal music. Plus the flow of the game is really awesome. Almost zen-like. :)

they are starting to show up in print media all over especially when it comes to fashion

i've seen a couple track bikes on television shows (esp the ones that are based in NYC)

Most likely one of the designers'/programmers' bikes. One of the few things I learned in my semester as a computer science major is how much fun it is to slip easter eggs like that into your code.

Calvin Klein in-store ad.

I saw one on an episode of Dexter. It was hanging on a wall someone's apartment.

That thing's either gigantic or running 650s. Or both.

I saw a fixed gear on the internets once.

seconded- it seems that if it's fashion, includes a bike and is aimed to a younger demographic the bike will be a fixed gear.

and colorful.

I saw one in an old Simpsons episode once, no brakes, track drops, track grips. Had to freeze frame the episode to get a look but it was there for a split second.

Haha, I remember seeing this and pointing it out to a friend. It was the one guy who worked for Freebo.

Whoa, aerospoke and everything! Apparently Doug was 10 years ahead of its time...

That was just the icing on the cake which was a great season. Very excited to see what's coming up next.

AWESOME SKEETER's DA BOMB...

it was javier, a pimp and acquaintance of freebo's, who debra was questioning. i work on the show so i could not resist. i meant to ask what the deal with it was, but i forgot. one of the camera guys had a real nice fixed gear that he kept on the lot for awhile. different bike though.

NYC had a couple fixed gear bikes on the todays show. I think they even have an all black one called the todays show.

spin for sure.

Pfft!

No foot retention and no brakes. Skeeter's a jackass.
