Bike Snob NYC recently revealed that Hipsters are beginning to abandon the Fixie bike for those with brakes and gears and stuff. Further proof was published in the official Hipster news source at left. Since reading this, it has dawned on me that there have been a lot more craigslist ads for Fixies, as well as a number of Fixie parts kits up for sale. Great. This means that they are going to invade and pervert some other angle of cycling culture. Soon bearded socialist types will be buzzing about on BMX's or maybe they will adopt fat tire beach cruisers. Either way they will meet resistance from the cultures that are already in place. Sure, a few will sneak their way into the landscape of any of the cultures, like tumbleweeds in a western movie, but once shots are fired they will blow off screen just as fast as they entered.
