And for the record, I ride a fixie, I restored it from an old bike I pulled from a dump and I have to say its my favorite bike to ride despite having 4 other nice bikes. For me what I really enjoy about fixies is that there cheap to build so its easy to have a project bike most of the time which I always end up having haha.
I don't like how everyone bashes on fixie riders because i honestly think its false in most cases. For me fixies are just a fun way to get around and are relatively cheap to build. just because I ride a fixie doesn't mean I hate road riders that will get fully dressed up in spandex to go for a ride around town. Why should you hate on all fixie riders, not all of the people who ride fixies fit into your stereotypical view as "hipsters". Sure people ride fixies because they think its "cool", what about the bmxers who build 19 pound bikes and cant bunny hop up a curb? Or people ski park because they think its cool, theres always going to be people doing things to impress or develop social status but that shouldn't cause other people to develop a hatred for what ever it is there doing.
