The Secret Society
Fixed gear riders have been around for ages, and the society is growing each and every day. Many people from many different walks of life choose to ride fixie for many different reasons.
To start you have the messengers, everyone envies a big city messenger. Then you have the college students who I am one of. The teens better known as the hipsters, just looking for the next sweet fad, and finally the originators who were mostly bike fanatics or messengers.
For a short time period fixed riding was I suppose you’d say a “secret society,” and there are many riders who would love to keep it that way. They’ll let the world keep it’s traditional geared cycle with it’s typical frame and its typically black tires, but strive to keep their ridiculous colorful bikes a secret, but eventually it caught on, and how could it not.
