that's very very funny.
"She's implying that the 'fixie' is for fashionistas that use the bike as a fashion accessory. Some do but 5% of us on here and elsewhere ride because we just like riding bikes, simple"
i agree with you here, pistanator. it's at least 5%, judging by the deep-v count. it's so achingly, embarassingly hip to ride fixed in London, and everyone knows it, they just don't want to admit it. not unlike like the proverbial levellers fan, stood in a sea of your own shit at some alternative festival, bellowing out 'one way' at the top of your smoke-addled lungs with 50 thousand other soap dodging, identikit, lank-haired crustafarians.
