Do fixed wheel riders like aesthetically pleasing bikes? Aidan (until recently) and I both ride Vetos so that cannot possibly be true!
It's certainly not the case that all of us become fixed wheel riders for such reasons.
Personally I have no such feelings for cars, they are not powered by me so I don't really see it as a combination of man and machine at all, certainly not in the way a human powered vehicle is.
The Prius is often attacked by petrol heads and it's probably a long way from being the green car it claims to be, but is it really any more ugly than all other modern cars of it's class? I don't think so, it is a victim of prejudiced perception from people who think it's not a "real car"...... this is all a bit boys toys innit?? how many of the cars shown here are small, economic, practical...(but look good?? I'm sure these kind of cars exist but the kind of car worship shown here is little about "lines" or beautiful design, it's about going fast and showing-off non? Jesus some people even think Corvettes and Harleys look cool......madness.
