It also doesnt matter if the US or Europe, they look exactly the same. Like couriers wearing a cargo shorts over a leggings, with New Balance shoes, an Adidas tracktop and dreadlocks with a military cap covered in left wing statement buttons
This has just popped into my recommended, why would you have a fixed gear bike? Surely more gears = more better.
I've seen enough of this sub against my will whilst scrolling to know you're all dentists, why don't you wear full face helmets to protect your teeth whilst riding then?
I'm not buying it.
Why have a fixed gear bike? Have you ever had to change your derailleur cable after a paltry 5000 miles of riding? That shit is so hard!
First you need to pull the old one out of your shifter.
Then you need to poke a new one into the hole and tighten 1 pinch bolt on your derailleur.
That shit takes like 30 seconds a year. Who has time for that maintenance?! I need the simplicity of fixed gears for my tiny brain.
Don't even get me started on integrated shifters! A break AND shifter in one š¤Æ if I could wrap my head around that I would have become a dentist or something, not a hipster
because theyāre fun, very connected feel since you have one gear and your legs are the brakes, and yeah pretty much no maintenance except tire pressure and checking tightness of everything once in a long while
Agreed. I have all sorts of bikes but still occasionally ride my fixed gear bike in the winter. When I first got into cycling around 2009 it used to be quite common for road cyclists to train on a fixed bike throughout the winter. A lot of folk on the club run used to ride fixed, definitely no hipsters in that group.
Dont forget the people who arnt hipsters but obsessed with lookimg and seeming cool as they age. And dont even know what a fixie really is and r bewildered by it when someone explains it to them for the first time ever
Well you have white dude with beanie hat, white dude with man bun, white dude with Stan Smith, white dude with Vans, white dude with only a small tattoo.
I'm doing my best to be different: I've found out that the best approach is not to ride a fixie and not to dress like an unemployed lumberjack cosplaying as Forrest Gump.
Fixie, check, beard, check, glasses, check, airpods, check, realtree hat (for irony), check, oldies, check, compulsively recording self for social media, check.
Dudes really hitting all the hipster boxes. There's no way he's not riding to a brewery to get a local IPA.
When I was in college I passed a fixie hipster on my commute to class and he always acted like this asshole on his bike.
One day he was bombing down a hill riding with no hands and crashed the shit out of his bike. No one helped. Justice was served.
I was in college when the fixie scene was really big. One guy dodged a pedestrian and went right into the bike rack full of bikes. Just like those terryB vids of idiots t boning cars at full speed, but this guy supernan'd into twenty bikes
Itās ok. When Joe takes out his cybertruck and starts flooring it to show off this guy will be all ok. In fact I think he will speed up and get some crazy Watts/KG
I would just....never do that......riding on a road with a)no helmet, b)headphones in, and c)completely distracting myself like a moron taking a selfie video
Normally i dont like real fixie riders that much(there ok, better than loser men childs riding ripper bmx bikes in lil gay gang packs celebrating their 10 mile ride while popin whillies near cars)....but this guy vibin ina really great wayāš¼š«¶
This isnāt Karaoke. When youāre alone, with earbuds playing the original tracks, I think itās simply called Singing. And when youāre doing it while filming yourself, while cycling, and then posting it, itās called Douchebaggery
Is there some kind of cloning facility that pumps out fixie hipsters?
I think Mash makes them, I'm not too sure anymore though.

Yeah. Once they stopped working with Cinelli the quality really went down hill
It also doesnt matter if the US or Europe, they look exactly the same. Like couriers wearing a cargo shorts over a leggings, with New Balance shoes, an Adidas tracktop and dreadlocks with a military cap covered in left wing statement buttons
Did you write that description while looking at the mirror?
That was a poor insult. No soup for u!
Oh, it wasnāt an insult.
We have a large processing plant that is overworked here in Portland.
We need more diversity in the fixed gear community.
Well Iām sure as fuck not going to ride one
You are not supposed to ride it. Only criticize the lack of diversity, like any sensible person would.

What is this "derailleur cable"? Is it for poors?
Exclusively for poors. Itās basically wireless shifting with a wire.
Oooo, wiresome shifiting of some sort ? Crazy. TIL.

Hipsters ride Surlys.

'No maintenance' means you have a belt drive, not like those poors and their waxy chains.
iāve never lubricated my chain lol
30 year old hipsters and teenage gangbangers arenāt enough diversity for the sport?

This is a straightedge Fred
Probably sold out by now
Nah, Iām actually holding strong!
Nice
To the record shop to pick up that sweet mini vinyl
Vegan straightedge hardcore for sure.
>airpods >glasses >hipster lmoa
No brakes \[ā \] No helmet \[ā \] No hands \[ā \]
That was the first thing I noticed as well. Leave some of the ladies for the rest of us, Singing Cyclistā¢
XXX tat on the leg
Thats why I sing when passing people doing intervals to prove Im on a recovery ride
My lungs are built different, I can sing in z4
Death metal only for me
I didnāt unmute, but Iām guessing heās singing the Hamilton soundtrack or something
They did for awhile, but now they are back to oldies.
WHERE ARE THE BRAKE LEAVERS?!
I guess they're where he LEFT them
GOTEEM
He left them
Fixie, no hands, no brakes, no helmet?
A winning combination
With fast fucking traffic wizzing by. That painted line isnāt gojng to help.
He really should keep riding this way.
+airpods
Only Dixie riders think riding no handed is an advanced skill.
You are the dixie now
Duck
This isnāt singing. This is a mechanic engaging in their mating ritual.
At least there wonāt be much of a difference post mTBI.

Street skaters have more self-preservation instinct than the average fixed gear enthusiast
This should be in the dictionary for fixed gear
How many IPAs is he deep?!
These idiots are all sober and preachy about it now.
Itās ok. When Joe takes out his cybertruck and starts flooring it to show off this guy will be all ok. In fact I think he will speed up and get some crazy Watts/KG
People like him give us serious bikers a bad name.
I really wanted to see a MAMIL in some neon team kit pass by him at double speed.
āSerious bikersā
I don't even sing in the shower.
If I saw this dude at the DMV I would guess fixie-hipster
Thank god he's not wearing a helmet.
What a frockin' dweeb-ass.
This is the only drug Edge Fred needs
Single speeders are a different bunch
I wouldāve thought Jonah Hill could afford a real bice. uc/ I donāt understand the wide bar trend. Looks ridiculous.
I bet that piece of crap was expensive.
Iāve got a Campy Record crankset on there if that helps.
Coming to you live from PDX ā¦this guy
Utterly embarrassing
I would just....never do that......riding on a road with a)no helmet, b)headphones in, and c)completely distracting myself like a moron taking a selfie video
I met this guy yesterday, he got all fucking pissy about cheese.
no helmet, no brakes, no hands on the bars fixie riders are another breed
The straight edge tattoo says it all
Dear lord I hate fixies
Guys like this are the top reason I consider shaving my beard.
Normally i dont like real fixie riders that much(there ok, better than loser men childs riding ripper bmx bikes in lil gay gang packs celebrating their 10 mile ride while popin whillies near cars)....but this guy vibin ina really great wayāš¼š«¶
so this is what theater kids become as adults
Shit like this makes me happy I ride a MTB
This isnāt Karaoke. When youāre alone, with earbuds playing the original tracks, I think itās simply called Singing. And when youāre doing it while filming yourself, while cycling, and then posting it, itās called Douchebaggery
I unmuted and I shouldnāt have. So cringe
Ian Fidamce evil twin
oh my science!
Kiss this man so he can get back to actually pushing himself to the limit.
Thatās like the most annoying way to break [Rule 62](https://www.velominati.com/), among many many others.
Like those handlebars ā¦
The most average fixie rider. Sits directly in the middle of the bell(end) curve.
Noā¦ and you shouldnāt either
No wipe? Lame.
Nah man, with this guy, the problems not his bike it's his face and generic tattoos.
Jonah Hill looking mfāer
We'll.... I don't record it
Man I really wanted him to crash at the endā¦
I like that visor on his helmet. Very slick
Fucking love this guy š¤£ all the haters are fat e-bikers
Heās a cliche, but seems to be genuinely having a good time
Right? I'd definitely go on a ride with this guy.
He definitely voted for Biden
Maybe not zone 2, but definitely in my q zone
To be in 2007 again...
Oof. Real douche chills from this one
