More urban fixie video fun

Who said they'd scream if they saw another self-absorbed fixie hipster video? I'm happy to oblige you.

I think the tilt shift "fake miniature" photography at the beginning looks pretty cool. For pure ballsiness I like Lucas Brunelle's work a lot better.

    I enjoyed it. Skills are skills. Our urban jungles need diversity not more cars. Be careful but ride on.

    These guys are cutting off cars and pedestrians like assholes. A prime example of why the rift between cyclists, pedestrians and cars exists. Great for them that they can do a wheelie (which I was doing at age 6), but in the process they're rapidly undoing the hard work of cycling-advocates in the process. Being a selfish asshole isn't any cooler when you're on a bike.

    oh god....i can't even imagine riding like this, no car would tolerate it. cars barely tolerate me when i get in the left lane to make a turn. or when there's a single lane and i have to make a left turn. these are the jerks that fly past me when i actually stop and look both ways at intersections, they make all cyclists look like jerks :/ it looks cool, but i dont think it promotes healthy cycling. those riders actually make me a little angry. they're like skateboarders, but in the middle of the street!

    and yes i ride a singlespeed/fixedgear track bike. because it's simple and quiet and i like the idea that i can fix it if it breaks. and the handling is good for a little girlie like me.
