I love the anti-fixie lot! I ride my bike to work every day, sun, rain, ice and snow (ok, i'm in Ireland so I'm lying about the sun). It is my only method of transport; I use it to go shopping, for leisure, for work etc. and I love being a cyclist! I also like having a bike that I think looks nice and I like to go about town in clothes that I like and, in my opinion, don't make me look like a school crossing attendant. When I'm wearing long trousers I generally roll up a trouser leg so I don't get oil on them. This is the way I enjoy being a cyclist, other people like being a cyclist in entirely different ways and, as long as they're having fun, fair play to them.
