fixies: the conversation starter

Bwhahahahha, get a recumbent, it's a retired-engineer-magnet.

Back to topic, 'tis a pity the Fixed Gear Enthusiass site is broken. Hrmmm, I can envisage a homegrown version with big hairy blokes posing in their undies or going commando... :eek:

If it not broken, its fixed!!!!

I love my fixed, and now have a fleet of 3 (Road, MTB and Crusier). You are correct, they do start alot of converstion. Most old cyclists remember when a fixie was the only thing, other people just don't get it, others want to have a go, and other have never seen anything like it before..

Its all good.

Oi!

I was that "bearded old man" who spoke to you this morning -- and enough of the "old" thanks junior! 🙄

I suppose one question is who is sadder, us bearded old men, or the shaven young men who's interests intersect with the bearded old men.

I was the youngest member of one of my clubs (not cycling) for about 25 years before someone else brought their son along.....Now I'm the second youngest

I've actually spotted 3 (three!) hot chicks riding fixies in the last 3
months.

Yeah... no hint of one called "Hot chicks route" (note spelling) on Bikely!

I haven't been riding a fixie. And I'm unmistakably male when viewed
from the front 🙂 And I'm probably not considered hot.

GET A HAIRCUT ME HIPPY!

Oh, Tim... don't put yourself down... I have friends that love men in
lycra. Admittedly, they are men too but sometimes you gotta take what
you can get!

I've had a couple of conversations with a distinctly hot chick who rides what appears to be a very tasty fixie (actually SS, but it's still loaded with class) in Footscray. There's a few of them around.

Aha, so you can be "codgered" on a bicycle as well! My brother and I
ride/rode old British motorbikes and you would often get some old
codger come up to you at a car park or service station and say "I use
ta have wunna doze", and then relate their entire motorcycle glory days
to you. Hence, to be "codgered".

Just when I'm starting to build up a fixie.............
