As we rage about gravel unracer memesters on their $9000 speedvagens and $490 worth of "not at all flamboyant" flamboyant "totally not a cyclist" cycling apparel, let us look back at the good old days when the worst thing you could do was have a cheap POS and thrift store clothes.

In retrospect, what was so bad about fixiefags anyway? They didn't hate on anyone, they actually LIKED riding fast they just couldn't afford it, and they had the correct attitude about cagers which is that antagonizing them where they are not welcome rather than surrendering and cowering on remote gravel roads while shaming legitimate road use is the best solution for all of humanity.
