Seems like the fixie thing is a culture all its own. There's a guy who rides a fixie in our club. I couldn't figure him out for a long time. Didn't even realize he rode a fixie, but he was the only one wearing cargo shorts instead of spandex! I kept thinking surely he'd show up with spandex at the next ride, because surely he would figure out that spandex was the superior option.

It was my husband who eventually noted and then pointed out to me that this guy rode a fixie and what that even meant. Apparently he rides with a fixie club in L.A. Who knew there was a fixie CLUB even?!

I have to say, for a guy in cargo shorts on a fixie, he holds his own amazingly well amongst all us gear fixated spandexies!!! (Get it?! Fixie? Spandexie?! I crack myself up.)

In conclusion, on a humorous note, my husband informed me that fixie guy (who has a name, which I just can't remember right now) did finally show up to a ride with spandex.
