fixed, fixie, fixer, fix...

[bonj2]

it seems a certain amount of exception has been taken of late to the term 'fixie'.
The term 'fixed' seems to have cropped up as a conscious but awkward alternative to those wanting to distance themselves from the 'hip' crowd.
It seems the hipster/fakenger fashion seems to be 'uncool' to some and therefore an inverse-hipster fashion seems to have cropped up which can itself make fashion victims of fixie riders.
The problem is 'fixie' is a purely invented term and therefore a noun in its own right, whereas 'fixed' is the past participle of a verb.
The term 'fixed' used as a noun grates on me so I shall be viewing with suspicion those that use it, and shall using the term fixie.

Bonj, im now going to tell you to **** off.
Its fixed to me, whatever to anyone else.
Its a simple bike, why do you have to try and complicate it? WHY? WHYYYYY?????

 

[bonj2]

you're all fashion victims.

Admit it Bonj, your a hipster
Im a victim of my own lazyness

nope, i'm just NOT an inverse-hipster - like you are. You are the opposite of zimzum. You inverse-hipster.

In fact, if being a hipster equates to homosexuality, then you are essentially displaying signs of homophopia, which probably indicate that you are fairly worried about the fact that you might be a hipster (gay.)

Don't you 'ride fixed', 'ride a fixie', use a 'fixed gear', and have a 'fixed wheel'?

Bonj, come see what i wear sometimes when i ride. I have a messenger bag, i roll my jeans up if i have jeans on, wear a cycling cap and fly around spinning.
You could class me as a hipster, except im not.
You however, are a hipster, because you have decided that if you go for being one you can say your not one and your not hipsterphobic

NO!
Stop it. Your trying to be smart and thinking too much into it

ah but you only aren't a hipster because you've decided that you're not, but you essentially are displaying all the signs of being one. Being able to ride fast / go up down hills doesn't make you not a hipster.

"Fixie" is to fixed as "Campy" is to Campag - wrong.
