Do you think fixies will come back?

Fashion and trends goes in cycles right (no pun intended)? Early 2000s aesthetics in fashion and music have been a thing for a little while now. Do you think there will ever be a renaissance of mid 2000s 'fixie culture'?

Kanye thinks so

Fixie never died it’s just resting.

I will ride fixed until my knees blow out.

Inb4 'Shit fixie skidders say'.

My sweet fixie is only getting better and better

This seems like a good thread to spam with the IRO I'm selling?!

but will it ever be cool again?

Fixie is an attitude, a state of mind.

GCN did a "how to ride a fixed gear bike" video yesterday

That settles it.

I have it as I wear rapha

it's down to the next generation to carry it on, we've passed the baton
sadly they are all doing wheelies on £250 mtb's
and you can't wheelie a fixie FACT

It's already happening!

Foot retention fail.

But urban beats

Who cares about fashion, I ride fixed because I love it :) probably only twelve geared rides since 2003 :)

Don't worry. Judging by these responses I feel like it's about as far from 'cool' as possible right now

I rode fixed as a training method and over the winter, and just stuck with it, from about 1987 I guess. Still have 3 fixies, inc my old TT bike, but I rarely ride them now as I live near Crystal Palace and at my age (55, ffs) I can’t get up over the hill and back down again to work and back on a fixed. It’s a bit shit but I need gears :(

Good. I have been riding fixed since the crust of this planet began to cool, God was a boy then. Is riding fixed fashionable? Who gives a fuck!

I was just hoping for a self effacing discussion about the cyclical nature of bike trends. You didn't hear about fixies being fashionable?!

I am slightly more grumpy tonight than my standard starting point, which is 'grumpy', for which I apologise. I suspect that a significant proportion of people on here don't care about bike trends, but just enjoy riding fixed and are unconcerned about their current cool credentials. Most of them are cunts, anyway...

Just wondering, is trend analysis relevant to your job in any way?

This is the forum where everyone was building up porteur bikes at one point and where the terms "romanceur" and "groad" have been used unironically.
