Fixed gear is a disease
A meme virus left over from the 00's obsession with"authenticity"
Back then consumers were clinging to whatever meaning we had left as a culture
Fixed gear riding bike Messengers were the source
Deeply poor, bad ass degenerates in NYC. Made trust fund kids feel tough to smoke weed with them and get bike advice
Became a trend
That's all gone now
The authentic products are now commodities
Fixies are for hipster new Americans (Asians, Hispanics)
White hipsters still looking for authenticity are doing the Prolly meme thing now lol
The Gen Z kids don't give a shit anymore I bet
I'm glad
Messengers dont even ride fixed as much. Just a fucking meme
