Every Jr High kid in my city is riding a fixie now
 

It seemed to happen overnight. A few months ago, i'd only see older urban hipster types riding a fixie. Then i'd see younger guys riding them, and i'd see more riding them. Today I drove by my local junior high as school was getting out and every single kid riding a bike was riding a fixie.

They killed it.

Couple years too late, my friend.

Get a bike with gears and brakes. It is the new thing. Then you can say you are an enabler, an originator.

Counter-act this by only having you and your friends ride Di-equipped carbon race bikes!

Bikes are so over bro

Damn it, this damn gif makes me lose it every time.

My last 2 cats, and current, look exactly like that.

Also just as stupid.

siamese? I had lynx points growing up. The boy thought he could walk on water. geeze, i miss them

in tears. had not seen that particular catgap.

gawd that is funny.

silleh kitteh.


still can't decide whether i'm lucky or not that there's only two other fixed riders in town (not that there's much bike culture to begin with), a bike shop mechanic that occasionally rides a Pake he built and some college kid on a conversion.

Someone is the jelly.

all the junior high kids be stylin' on me foo. deep rims and colored spokes man i wish i had a sw8 fixay lyke dem.

Great for the kids, and great for cycling. You guys are hipsters, you realize that.

OMG! I am? I am! Thank you and WTF!

I'm fortunate (Ha!) to live in an area which lags only slightly behind the cutting edge. I knew the trend was on its way out several years ago when I started seeing "tweens" on FGs with cowhorns, neon deep-vs, and no brakes.

Judging by what I see where the bike path goes under the overpass, the new trend is making methamphetamine with cold medicine and two liter soda bottles. So you guys might want to get on board while it's still hot - for all you know, the next fad might involve getting a job and a car.

We are everywhere

Crap! I'm already ahead of the fad:( Should I start shaving my legs now?

hipster is such a relative word that it pretty much has no meaning. KTHNXBAI FU

Kids? RIDING BIKES?

:mad:

Sorry for the late reply; I was seizing as a result of "gigantor's" post.

In answer to your question, yes, you should shave your legs. As your meth habit progresses and you find prostitution increasingly necessary, shaved legs may help, at least with a particular type of client.

Although it occurs to me that you may have been referring to the "job and car" deal. In which case my advice might not be totally appropriate.

For some reason, the only appropriate answer to this is simply, yes.

Yeah, I was about to say the same.
