I googled Fixie Fashion last night. Alberto had to work and finally, after four days off work and most of the housework done, sweet boredom set in for a few seconds so I went searching for inspiration.
But oh shock and horror: Apparently it's all over already! Those of you who are regular readers of BSNYC will probably ask "What's new? It was over a long time ago!"
So can I relax now?
It may be over for the rest of the world, but this is Oz and I only just had my first unintentional scare-skid (and loved it)... and since the world had its laughs about fixie-riding hipsters, we can avoid any of the inexplicable Fixie Fashions and just go on and enjoy riding our Fixies from here on without having to worry about looking cool... Thank you, America (and England)!
Now I just need to find myself a piece of string and an abandoned factory building...
One gear No idea from chris akrigg on Vimeo.
...because - obviously - this stuff can't be learnt any other way.
Oh, and by the way, I had the orange rim idea before I came across this clip but I agree with bikesgonewild - on Alberto's bike, not mine! ;-)

...you just got the memo, huh ???...lol...
...ahhh, life in general & cycling in particular - ain't it grand...
...a new trend comes along & draws out those with a need to be 'au courant', the bandwagon gets jumped on & we get to find out what sticks & what doesn't & who's real & who's not...
...what's nice about cycling is for those of us who have it in our blood, it becomes a lifestyle, to whatever extent we care to be involved...
...& even though our numbers are vast, we're still a select group 'cuz let's face it, the sport & activity of cycling ain't easy...
