    Krysten showed this to me last night.
    It's cool that these peoples are out there on bikes. I'm just not sure if the video is joking or not.

    Looks like they are havin fun. Good for them.
    Video makes them seem a little too cool for school, but whatever. Internet/videos has a way of doing that.

  1.  

    The main reason I thought it might be jokey was because all the riding shots are in fast motion.
    Maybe its just bad editing.

  2.  

    that girl who got her finger smashed in her chain ring WOULD work at a fucking coffee shop. Is that all fixed riding is? fucking american apearal hoodies, gauged ears, and COFFEE?! I love riding fixed but not when the ultimate cool guy comes screaming past me with his big ass cool guy shades, his two sizes too small hoodie, a cig in mouth, and a god damn cup of coffee

    Herecomesthesun -- I'll come screaming past you with my silver fenders, spandex, and REI jacket. (I'll have some stumptown in my water bottle though)

    Haha, this video sucks, we never should have watched it. Unimpressive. Mediocre, at best.

    If I hear another tool complain about what other people do on their bikes I'm gonna vomit.

    EDIT: I noticed your avatar photo. Nice tight black jeans and a flannel. I'm sure there's no hipster skaters who wear stuff like that.

    just because people ride bikes doesn't mean they are no longer targets for fun-poking Max.

    It's not fun-poking. It's stereotyping.

    You guys are free to say what you want, I'm not censoring anyone. But I will call you a tool when shit like that gets said. Because if you say it, you are one.

    Haha, god, I love this shit. I intend on riding tonight with a cigarette in my mouth, a pabst in one hand, some stumptown in the other, and not one - but two! - american apparel hoodies on. Maybe I'll even rock my american apparel gold leggings again. They were obviously good luck the first time.

    so you're saying it is unfair to stereotype early 20s fixed gear riders as "fashionable" coffee addled morons?

    You know what? Make that a pack of cigarettes in my mouth.
    I don't smoke, but there's never a good time to start like today, right?

    I didn't say anything about being fair. If you want to play the stereotype game, fine. I'll play. Which will probably make you fall in my "tool" stereotype.

    EDIT: Not you specifically alex, the pronoun "you" for people who say that stuff.

    wtf? this isn't a place to start shit on the internet. get that shit out of your system on bikeforums and come back when you're ready to meet cool people and ride your bike.

    Fuck yeah. So back to the Seattle Women short...did I already say:

    MEDIOCRE, AT BEST.

    I just wanted to use the word mediocre, again. I really like it.

  3.  

    I'm not taking this all that seriously. I just want to give a little feedback to stuff like that.

    I just don't want people walking around making other cyclists feeling stupid for drinking coffee or working at a coffee shop.

    Alex, you rule.

    herecomesthesun, out of the five posts you've made here, the two I've read have been negative bullshit. Please, cut it out.

    I work at a coffee shop, have gauged ears and own an american apparel hoodie. You know what people who judge others only by their appearances and employment are? Fucking douchebags. Take that judgemental bullshit somewhere else.

    I don't own an american apparel hoodie or have gauged ears. I'm sure the millions of people that drink coffee in this world don't ride fixed gears.

    I could care less about anyone doing tricks, but it is fun and these girls are having fun and that's all that really matters. They are babes and they ride bikes, i don't see enough babes that look like they're having fun in portland. Who wants to go to seattle? haha

    Trashing my favorite website is making me feel like less of a person. Way to hit the nail on the head.
