"'bikes' were used by slaves to ride to freedom to the United States"
😒😔
Well, tynan did parody and satire, but never maliciously. Here, the purpose was obviously to satirise both Alice Fisher's original article and all the nonsense that was being talked about 'fixies' at the time, hence the absurdity of that phrase (and the totally silly paragraph it's embedded in). You've even cut off the rest of the clause: '... of USA (New York).
I don't really know what 'edgelord' means (probably someone who gets close to the edge), but I don't think it was around as a term at the time. I'm sure it's too close to, or over, the edge for some (especially considering the developments of the last few years), but as a satirical piece I think it stands up. Satire generally offends some people, and it can be done badly or maliciously, no question. I don't think that's the case here.

This reminds me of the last minute of Stewart Lee's Top Gear sketch where he has to explain that he doesn't really hope all of Jeremy Clarkson's daughters go blind in all of their eyes etc

Yeah I wasn't necessarily quoting this piece as evidence of being an edgelord. It's just weak sauce and I didn't think it was funny.
I'm not going to start posting all of the edgy race/religion bs he liked to joke about as its all just tiring. I haven't ever seen why people loved him so much is all. -
