The other crap could be seen in any circus since before Christ pissed off the Romans. Some actually on a wire. Skidding was learned on coaster brake bikes.

But having only read BSNYC screeds about the fixie freestylers, I was surprised to find some beauty in it. Until that one kid ran the four way stop downhill. In San Franciso. Dumb. In summation, who cares. From my vantage point in the deep south, where this trend is just starting to trickle, I found that stuff pretty cool to watch.

Never once while riding the loop on my Guerciotti cross bike or my SE BM flyer have I seen anyone with the same bike as me. I have however been on a group ride with my fixie and seen people with the exact same frame and wheels. If you go to midnight ridazz there will two hundred IRO black frames, with green, orange, red velocity deep v rims, pedals and straps, grips on cut bars. There will be 100 people on red and white centrurions (however you spell it) with the housing mounts on the top tube cut off and then taped over. grips of people will have Nishikis. They will all be wearing black slip ons, or all black chucks, with womens pants rolled on both sides up to just below their knees. They will have black hoodies and the same fucking chrome bags. The only problem with the fixie kids of today is they act like they invented the wheel. They act as if no one before their generation ever rode fixies in large groups, or did tricks, or anything like that. I got called a hanger on at Midnight Ridazz one night about a year ago. "Huh?" i said. "Well you are older and doin the whole fixie thing." "How long you been riding a fixie?" I asked. "A year or so." "how long you been riding bikes?" I inquired. "Oh this is my first one since I was like seven, I use to ride a skateboard but this seems more pure. What about you?" "Oh I just ride" and rode away Slappy wrote:
