I hate this noddy-nod wavey-wave crap. Just ride your bike to wherever you're going and don't get all butthurt if a cyclist has something better to do than wave and smile back.

wow not even close i didn't go to art school

Oh man sorry. See that's what happens when you stereotype, you get it mostly right.

You don't get talk **** about skateboards you talentless hipster ****ing piece of ****. Clearly you could NEVER EVER summon enough talent to do anything on a skateboard or anything else that took an ounce of actual skill. Anyone can ride a ****ing bike.

Stop being such an emo hipster like the original poster. If you are looking for criticism about your fashion choices of bike parts, tattoos, and shoes then you will get it. There are a MILLION fixed gear riders here in NYC and I NEVER have a problem with any "fixed on fixed" hate because I don't invite their opinion into my life. But if you do, you get what you want.

jesus christ chill out dude-bro

You really cut to the core of me. not only can I not even kickflip, I can't to sweet ripskidz on my sweet fixiepixie, and the whole world knows. Why did I even try to responding to you, you obviously know so much about me. My mountain dew is getting flat and the commercials are done for the X-Games, I best get back.

This is the best thread.

As for people hating on your tattoos, solution - don't get tattoos. Oh I guess that's out of the question because they are an essential part of your identity and without them you would be lost. Ok.

Just by reading this one sentence I can tell that you are such a **** that it amazes me you were even able to land a job to get the money for your bike. They are laughing at you when you pass them bumping along on your saddle looking tough in your drops, or maybe, in a drop position on your risers? Probably the latter. Maybe they would wave to you if you weren't doing your best Fred Durst on a fixed gear impression.

This is true.

Ya you did it first tell 'em!

You idiot, it's FAIR trade coffee. Why don't you go put on some lederhosen and eat some bratwurst and you and your cheap beer drinking companions can talk about Brett Favre and FIBs while you say, "Ya hey there, let's go to the bubbler for a drink there." Jeez.

An infinite source of amusement.

No it's not it was a joke.

@Lorok

Funny you say that because I'm originally from Chicago, I've only lived here for two years.

I dunno, the vegan straps thread is right up there.

Ha, so you ARE a FIB! Me too. I moved out here from the Chi (Ukranian Village) in '04. I really miss the city sometimes.

what if I were to ride to the skate park on a FG?

Are you you skating there or riding the fixed on transitions?

Truth. For anyone interested: https://www.bikeforums.net/singlespeed-fixed-gear/572184-vegan-double-toe-straps.html

Riding the streets and skatin' the vert. The riding helps strengthen the muscles around my aging knees, self serving circle of fun. I can see trying to ride a "fixie" on the ramp as a quick ticket to emergency room.

Yea me too, Milwaukee is nice but its not the same. A year from now I'll be moving back either to Logan's Square or bucktown, hopefully the rent doesn't keep skyrocketing in both :/

I think this thread just made me dumber

I think I get dumber every time someone from Texas talks.

What is this? Are we still in the ******** 19th century?

Honour scorned shall indeed be avenged, verily I dare say good Sir, it can only be avenged in the proper manner. Pistas at dawn! Have you a second?

Untwist your panties, dear sir! For much in this 'ere post is to be taken in jest!

LOL, I always give cyclists a head nod , like whats up dude?and the only ones that never respond are ,well, any of them .

Its not cause im riding fixed and brakeless is it ?
