I dedicate this to palucha66.

I can't tell if I am pleased because this might mean more folks on bikes, if I am disgusted because well, it's Urban Outfitters, if I am terrified because there will be more kids on bikes talking on their cell phones and listening to their iPods without brakes, or if I am curious to see what the "OG fixters" will start riding now that the fixie is officially passé. (Could that have been done with semi-colons?)



(The irony!!!)

Wow. Republic bikes weren't lame enough before, now they're teaming up with a store owned by a Prop. 8 supporter.

Epic fail in the making.

Many of them will crash and break bones and then they'll get over bikes. And some won't.

as lame as this is, is it really that much of a surprise?


on many of the rides, there are SO many urban outfitter consumers, wearing their cheap gear and playing with their lomo cameras.


if anything, it was expected.


maybe u should start calling people out when u see these bikes on rides.

but sigh, it wont happen bc riders avoid calling people out like they avoid stepping in dog shit.

Actually, my mistake, they have brakes - two of em!!!

The "random" colorway option amuses me.

And thanks to Bike Snob for the amusing commentary regarding.

I don't really feel the need to call someone out for their bike unless they are being a dumbass on it.

Urban Outfitters makes some stuff that I would buy...if it weren't overpriced garbage peddled by a H8 supporter.

Of course it's no surprise that they've co-opted the fixie - that's how trends operate. And that's not to say that a fixed gear bike is a bad thing nor that everyone who rides em is following the fad.

And if it gets more people on bikes, then good!!!

"hey bro, can you fix my flat?"

"are the aerospokes in the accessories or apparel section?"

"blah blah blah something clever blah blah"

remember that fucking clown that came out to TNS a couple times, claiming that he's a bike messenger from chicago but didnt know how to fix his flat nor had ANY tools or tubes on him.


what a fucking piece of shit.

i hope his shitty tattoos fade even faster and transform into dicks.

Argh, I had just heard about this THIS morning. My ex-boyfriend had sent me an e-mail saying, "Hey, you know they sell fixies at Urban now?" I was like WTF?

Seriously, what AREN'T they trying to sell? They sell the fucking cycling caps, utility pouches and messenger bags already.

ooh yeah! that chump was on a choice casati, riding around on spd-sl pedals with dunks...I told him to switch that shit out the first time I saw him with that setup. nearly five months now and he's still riding around like that.

doh. I totally remember seeing him pull some "ohh shit how do you stop this thing" moves. fronting like you're a hot shot messenger and you're not prepared, nor can you work on your own bike?? double doh!

tns is probably the last/worst place you need to show off your street cred.
