There is a lot of backlash going around against fixies in NYC lately. And with some good reason. With so many frail hipsters picking up a track bike the same way they would buy a new pair of skinny jeans, the trend is boiling over. People spend years learning how to control a fixed gear bike in the city, and a lot of these new kids don’t understand what they are doing until they plow down a pedestrian or two. If you’re just getting into riding track bikes, you have to respect the bike, because it will fuck you up (and the people in your path) if you can’t control it. Looks like this dude had enough:

Aint it the muthafuckin truth. These fuckin hillbillies come to NY- Willi-B specifically and try to assimilate like Kool Aid but that shit dont mix, there are hood rules and certain truths one being you cant jump off your Schwinsicle one day and try to wrestle the streets on a Fixed,. Word to mutha, I know these streets for some 41 years and have been a messenger and I know not to fuck with these bikes because of the skill needed and the danger they pose in the wrong persons hands. Sometimes I just wanna clothesline a hipster. Nah… but yall know what I mean, good post bro.
