my last fixed ride had some real nice fur on the top/down/seat tubes, not sure what'll happen to the next one that I'll be getting soon. I might funk it up but I may just keep it perfect & simple as it'll be track only.

Funny. I always thought punk was about rebelling against authority and nonconformity. But if you're not dressed "punk enough" you get the riot act from some. Just goes to prove my point that all groups mainstream and subcultures have their own standards that are rigidly enforced if you want to "be one of them."

Ey, thats guy's more punk then me.

I stand out in my current home of Fort Worth, Texas because I ride a bike. I go days without seeing a bike on the street. When I move to Austin in a few months I will be just another bike rider. Austin has been selected as one of Bicycling Magazine's Bike Towns. I can't wait.

I got plenty of attention from mommy as a child, so my need to 'stand-out' is somewhat diminished.

Yeah, funny bike as in funny car.

Dig?

I understand the comparison, but they still call it the "funny" bike.

Always gets me to smile.

I should update this - mine REALLY stands out now - matching tires and tape, black cranks and rear rim... She's really damn sweet...

The fat 26" tires and riser bars make my fixed gear stand out like a turd in a punchbowl.

well in Virginia Beach, VA there are very very few fixed gear riders (that i know of), and the only "roadies" seem to be like 35+, so i guess being a "kid on a bike with skinny tires" so...i guess i stand out?

YESSSSS. If I knew it was gonna be this type of party, I'd have stuck my d*** in the mash potatoes.

gotta have bling all silver wheels like mine to stick out. plus the mad skills. but there arent that many people in rva with fgs that actually ride that i know of. i see lots locked up around vcu but few on the streets. the only people i regularly see on the streets on a fg are andy (rides a tk2) and that guy from brohan on his blue steel track bike, ohh and me occasionally

I stand out because I'm pretty much the only courier in town who keeps their bike clean. Not many fixed riders here though, so another way to distinguish me is the "red one."

I'm a playa, yo. :p

I'm one of a few fixie riders in the area. It's fun keeping pace with the roadies on club rides.
Many don't notice until we hit the hills and they finally realise that I'm not doing any shifting. :D

Once my health improves I will start doing the club rides again.

I am one of 3 and only me and one other kid actually ride them. I have yet to see this other kid out on his bike but whenever I see him at the bars he asks if we are still rididng fixed.

I kind of wish there were more but it doesn't matter I kind of like riding by myself. It would be nice if more people were into bikes, outside of doing club rides in pacelines with a heart rate monitor, so maybe we would see some advocacy or some alleycats or other stuff. There is a state senator from our area trying to get a bill passed that offer tax deductions or something per mile biked for utility purposes and no one seems to know or care about it. Fixed or not fixed I wish I lived in a place with a larger cycling community, we have plenty of cyclist and very little community. Whatever

I brought my bike up to jerzee 3 weeks ago to ride around... worst riding experience EVAH! I will stick to my slow moving city traffic over the SUV Suburbs.... Jersey is just not a bike friendly state.... plus, its full of as$H0les. I grew up there, and was (is) one of them.

come to philly and ride!

I don't know that I do stand out...I ride the ONLY fixed gear ross in existance, I think...and i rock yellow bar tape...aside from that, i don't know that I do...

i like my bike. classic bar-commuter bike, brakes and other non cool components. :D

I have my brandless (visibly) Bassofixie that is stealth and Eno and vert-dropout sexy. Also, I am the only fixie rider in Columbia, MO, who knows how to stop.

I'm deathly afraid of riding my bike out here in the booming suburbs...soo many bastards trying to run you off the road.

I'm the only one I know of with a converted Corso.

Otherwise, I'm just a space monkey.

I understand completely...stand your ground. It works for me.

hahahahaha

no one knows what you mean more than me! I had some guy in a white bimmer give me the bird while I was driving and I think I saw that blood vessel in his kneck pop right as he threw up that finger

i keep my bike quite simple, but most people pick it out (when parked outside bars) by the hand-knitted merino wool top tube cover.

on my bike, folks pick me out by the pink helmet. i guess they're unusual. who knew?

I stick out cuz I got one of these dealies attached to my bike....finally
