Bike Anti-Porn - When Things Go Wrong

I like number 19, with another sadle, tho

OMG pengylicious
seen on FGG

I like that simply for the insanity, it's like a cartoon bike.

rant-o-rama:

why the fuck are fixed wheel bikes so fucking trendy?

What is it that troubles you about them becoming trendy ?

Genuine question.

has it come to a point Tynan that you have to qualify yourself with a "genuine question" to be taken seriously ?

is funnny in itself :D quite ironic

^^^genuine question^^^

Yes, I am treated no better than a hired clown at a children's birthday party, my wistful insights and ponderous ruminations on life traduced to no more than cheap comic turns by a forum population eager to throw spit at a dancing fool, I am little more than a forum prostitute, turning cheap tricks, metaphorically sucking off drunk businessmen for brown coins in the shitter at Euston station - only to spend the money on brass coloured make-up to trace around my used eyes.

Make one of those coloured flashy things again.

:D

Poor Vivalo :-( Is that a mountain bike wheel you are wearing? Have a business card in your spokes to cheer you up.

Rant starts....
The reason fixed wheel bikes are so 'trendy' is that you, me, most of the other people on this forum and a hell of a lot more are riding them. Of course manufactures are going to start making cheapo/crap fixed wheel bikes if there is a demand for them. Its not their fault, its ours. If we think its a good thing to ride fixed why shouldn't every one else. Embrace the fact, don't rant against everyone else ruining it. The only reason I can see for anyone not liking this are people who are obsessed about being in the vanguard of cool - dare I say trendies/hipsters - who throw all their toys out of the pram because the lumpen proletariat are daring to join in on the fun.... rant ends

haha ridiculous!!!

i'm sorry but you've missed my point. i am ALL FOR people riding bikes for any reason at all. my ill-conceived rant was a reaction to the collaborative project between a shoe company, a bike company and a website whose sole purpose is drumming up the hysteria that surrounds streetwear and it's faux-exclusive branding. i was talking about business, not people. it's just another variation of consumer suckerdom parading under some bizarre pretence of rarity and cultural merit.

I stand corrected..... :) But, you know, what are you going to do? Lots of people riding fixed means there are bound to be lots of people trying to sell stuff to them. I think anti-porn gaol is enough for them.

ha, me too!
