eh...i rage'd at quite a few points in that article.
people who ride bikes for fashion reasons are dults. in fact, i laugh every time people criticize the materialism of the mainstream and then gloat over their bike schwag.

Fixie Chicks are not rational people.
But I salute them, us (although we resent being classified as a group).
I salute our choice of elegance over common sense.
I salute our intrusion on a predominantly male world.
I salute the importance we attach to one small cog.
I salute our ragged beauty. And, as a Fixie Chick,
I swear and aver I will not roll my pantleg down.
