fixie irony

it's a cry for help - not unlike white guys with dreads or the office yupster with the breitling & Infinity.

Duct tape and cardboard... not unlike a Unidisk from the late 80's
Admit it, you had one ;)

More like fixie douche baggery. The one in the background is just about as barf inducing.

Where did the pedals go?
They forgot to put in a cut out for the tire valve.

Mike, it's one fast bike. Nothing slows it down; not brakes, not pedals. This guy's going places.

This is what happens when you drink cheap bad beer, but hey, it's recycling at it's finest, what else are you going to do with that cardboard box.
I guarantee no one is going to steal that bike

Whoa there....PBR is NOT cheap, bad beer. Cheap, yes. Bad, no. Been drinking PBR since college (way before it was fashionable) and it is still one of my faves. If it is on draught wherever I am, it is almost universally my default choice....
That, and Hamm's, of course!!

Chief Oshkosh Beer in Four Corners Wisconsin one weekend in 1969. Now that was some bad, cheap, beer. At least it felt like it the next few days.

When I rode across Wisconsin in '75, I'd stop in the afternoon at the local pub and drink a few PRB drafts. Good fresh beer! I spent my last college year drinking good Canadian beers, ales, stouts and porters and the beer on the boat I raced was Carlsberg, so I knew a little about beer.
The other side of those Wisconsin stops were 1) that I was the only person there except the bartender (and quite different from the usual customer) so they enjoyed the conversations and 2) $1 would get me 3 schooners and a 33% tip!.
Changed my opinion of PBR completely. But I'll still pass it up until I hit that state again.

There's one thing I like about that bike that I never see here in fixie-town Portland. Slack in the chain. A real 1/2 like there ought to be. The hipster fixie kings here keep their chains as tight as alternator belts. (Apparently they don't get that sprockets with teeth and chains don't slip, unlike those smooth automotive ones with belts.) Now the bike in the background looks like a Portland fixie.
