Except he didnt. And that would never happen. Any building with over 50 employees and its just mass chaos. Nobody knows whats going on. Seriously, you could put on a wal mart uniform and get access to 95% of that store with no questions asked.

All you have to do is read the comments on the video to see it's not real.

I just got back from Wal-Fart. I saw the bike and rode it in the back of the store. I thought it was fixed, but it had a freewheel on it. What did everyone else see?

The one I test rode had a cog and lockring; had because I pulled a skid and completely bottomed out my right foot, I had stripped it clean off.

The one I rode was fixed too. It would be a little weird for the 'Thruster Fixie' to...........nevermind.
|
It was just out of reach! The one at my wally world was on the top shelf and on the freewheel side :( No price was listed. The tag in the pic was for a different bike. The tag on the thruster fixie called it a "track bike" with "fixed sprocket." The rims looked like spray painted box sections.

You totally could have gotten that thing down, you slacker!
|
I think I'm going to buy one. Just for ****s and giggles, to take down to the local hipster hangout; so I can fit in.

No really, how much do these things cost?
|
Looks like it's about a hundred bucks: http://roburrito.imgur.com/walmart_fixie
It also looks like it's a flip-flop hub of some type. |
Nice! I'd be clearcoating that pricetag fo sho!
http://i.imgur.com/mlQUwh.jpg Oooh, look like a "t" under the tag, for "thruster" possibly? Might have to pry that headbadge off and put the pricetag up there then clearcoat. err, maybe just yank the UPC, keep that killer headbadge. And, Oooh! KICKSTAND! |
damn those are some sick ass pedals dude
|
I can just picture the Wal-Mart execs sitting around a boardroom table some Monday morning:
"The kids, they want their 'fixies' people. we need to get us some of that 'fixie' money. And paint it McDicks colours too. kids love McDicks. Find some sweatshop to start building these things before the little bastards change their minds" |
I personally love the 700x38 tires and the sprocket bashgaurd. Trying to capitalize on all the dudes that do polo and buy bikes at Wal-Mart I suppose.
|
I've seen this thing on campus for 2 weeks now, and today I finally saw the owner riding it. Total dudebro.
|
Ok, so I had to: I went down to Wally World, and test rode one.
Not bad for a throwaway single-speed/fixie (Flip flop hub). Could be a little bit of fun to ride. One was setup fixie, and the other was freewheel. I tested them both. Other than the ugly as sin paint job, it could be a fun "Throw it out after a year in college bike". |

Saw this bad boy on campus today.
http://i.imgur.com/tlf37.jpg So sick. If it hadn't been locked up with such a sophisticated lock, I probably would've stolen it. |

Well, it’s simple really.....
If it has hit the Wal-Mart shelves, it isn’t cool anymore. Time to chuck the SS/Fixies and move on. :lol::lol::lol::lol: |

:lol::lol::lol::lol: This just adds a new lower tier to the hierarchy. Or in more relevant words, a new tier of owners to mock and lock down upon. |
I went to Walmart last night and they didn't have any. :(
