Aw, but I was only asking a question, I am sooo sincerely curious.
But I have an answer to your question too: the reason is simply that you live in LA, and most people in LA - not all of course, but present company not excluded - are ******bags, so naturally there are many ******bags among LA's fixed-gear riders; just as there are among LA's bikeforums posters.

Because most people ask dumb questions. "Duuh, so it can't coast?" "I don't want a fixy because I don't want to not use breaks lol!" "Why do you ride that, lol?"
Wow, never heard those questions before.

Its not that most "fixie" riders are ******bags, its that most people are ****** bags. You're noticing more dbag fixed gear riders because you either have an interest or a problem with them; that makes them stand out to you more.

Nah, its not the LA thing, i just moved from Richmond VA where they are D-Bags there too. It's the BS elitist attitude that I am referring to. It's the same D-Bag attitude you get from most LBS workers.
And yeah, I did/do the fixie thing too, but c'mon guys it doesn't make you better than anyone just cuz your in the "in" crowd on your bike. And having a "real" track frame doesn't entitle you to be more of a D-Bag either.

The me me me me self centred-ness of our post millennium North America, has assured us a great, vast supply of d-bags for many years to come. Convert them to fuel.

Then Richmond VA must be full of ******bags too, especially if you're representative of that place.

Why are people with consecutive o's in their name usually furries?
Not all of them, but most of them?
