hahah man, those things are so goofy.

Sometimes I see packs of them riding down Los Coyotes and whatnot....

bunch of 1984 colors and whatnot.... riding in the middle of the street, etc....

Goof style.

If I see you one day I'm gonna honk and throw a sticker out the car.

You guys can ride fixed gear bikes out there? I could barely get to my house as a kid on my bmx with the Goliath hills around here. I'd say rock it, you'll be surprised how nice it is knowing you fill your tank half as much and can use the money for fun driving rather than boring driving

Brian · 06-12-2009, 10:36 AM

Last night I was at Pink's and some fixie kid was flying down La Brea and did some skid drift or something and almost smashed into the cars on the street.

I think the "fixie" thins is kind of neat, but it seems like a lot of the riders I see on them just make me have such a negative opinion about the whole thing.

Riding around like jackasses. Running red lights. Riding slow in the middle of the street.

hey man, I am in a CAR.

*hOngsterr* · 06-12-2009, 10:38 AM

haha its a new fad,
go to SF and you see them everywhere.

but if anyone wants to buy one or
upgrade ur stock shit off your fixie
LMK! friend has a shop that he works on car's

yup and gas is going up again it sucks plus it would be a good ride to work and back

BustedS13 · 06-12-2009, 11:12 AM

god dammit.

Brian · 06-12-2009, 11:17 AM

haha, I keep drift stickers in my car for this...

Matej · 06-12-2009, 11:18 AM

My friend rides fixed gear, he just got sponsored last week.

Actually, all of my friends ride fixed gear now.

I felt left out, so I bought an old school mountain bike. I don't really want fixed, but it is converted to single speed and I am going to put a big road bike wheel in the rear, and have the dumbest bike ever.

Brian · 06-12-2009, 11:20 AM

Matej you STUPID dumb dumb.

Matej · 06-12-2009, 11:24 AM

Maybe also wrap it in black rainbow flake vinyl that I never put on my car.

That would be trendy.

Brian · 06-12-2009, 11:25 AM

wrap your arm in that instead.
Kind of like a robot.

Matej · 06-12-2009, 11:27 AM

Perhaps I will put a fork with shocks on the front.

That would really steam people's carrots.

Bubbles · 06-12-2009, 11:40 AM

Do fixies come with Apple laptops or is that extra?

BustedS13 · 06-12-2009, 11:55 AM

i think they just come with an ipod loaded with Santigold mp3's.

Matej · 06-12-2009, 12:02 PM

This bicycle is so 'me.'

IIIXziuR · 06-12-2009, 12:03 PM

Fixed Gear is sweet but I hate how it is becoming "trendy"
I ride an old Peugeot that I did some stuff to but I don't feel cool enough to go hang out with those dudes with sweet 800$ bikes, skinny jeans, and hipster mustaches.

TRENDY TRENDY TRENDY
American Apparel CHECK
Animal Collective on iPod CHECK
Neon Coloured fixed gear bike with no brakes CHECK

Matej · 06-12-2009, 12:11 PM

Recently I learned that Animal Collective is actually a group that makes music.
Always thought they were just something that people blog about.
Maybe I will download a highly 'blggd' mp3 from Hype Machine.

DrftSLowHomIe!! · 06-12-2009, 12:13 PM

ok i can see how many of u guys dont like em but they are super comfortable to ride long distance

Dirty Habit · 06-12-2009, 12:14 PM

Dont forget to tuck your balls and walk around with one of you pant legs rolled up and your delivery sachel at your side. Cause no one will know you ride a sweet ass bike like that without that.

People dont do shit like this in detroit, or they would be shot/run over.

Repeatedly.

BustedS13 · 06-12-2009, 12:28 PM

fixed gear bikes come with four walls.
and adobe slabs.
you know, for your girls.

s13poop · 06-12-2009, 12:37 PM

waiting for duffm4n to chime in

DrftSLowHomIe!! · 06-12-2009, 12:50 PM

BustedS13 · 06-12-2009, 12:52 PM
