I've recently been looking at Google trends and just randomly typed 'fixie' into the search.
It's actually quite interesting to see the data on this, you can see exactly when people become more interested (as the weather turns) and then it drops as the weather declines.
It seems to be the peak interested in all of these was August 2012. Quite interesting!
I wonder how long it'll be until the revival of the 'fixie' happens, and it's coming from fresh perspective or nostalgia?
I understand that most things have their sell-by date, but why did 'fixie' bikes get dropped so quickly? Was it just the pure hipster phase that came and went, or was it something more?
tldr: 3.15am thinking
