I had a guy stop me last night...

jonaent (Jon) It's not that I don't like the fact that it's popular..... but at the shop we are getting an awful lot of city/rich w**kers who have never ridden fixed before buying the most expensive builds and parts for expensive frames from elsewhere, all because it's cool, or poular, or the thing to be doing..... At first it was Shoreditch types, now, it's city boys..... I know which one i'd rather ride with!.... actually I'm not sure

I fucking hate this attitude, I have lusted after bikes since I was a kid, I could never afford the stuff I wanted and now (after years of hard work) I can finally afford some of the things I have been staring at through the window for years, and what happens when you go in excited that you can finally afford your dream frame, hub or wheelset, someone thinks you are a cunt for whatever reason and you are treated like shit.

Oh, well that's people for you.

People on bikes are good, regardless of whether they are rich, poor, black, white, fat, uncool, or super duper hipster.
