I haven't got details, but have heard from someone I trust that there's been some armed robberies of downtown kids latetly. Happens at night, dudes riding alone on their fixed gears are approached by a guy driving a car - who happens to sport the hipster look himself - and he pulls a gun on them and steals their fixie.

SO the lesson (I guess) being to take care and don't ride alone at night if you have a nice bike :-)

I'll post if I can get a better description of the guy or his car.

We must start a charity/information campaign.
Get Sally Struthers to do an info-mertial.
"Only YOU can stop these poor hipsters from turning to a life of crime . . ."

But, yea, weird + creepy + bad.
Someone's gunna wind up hurt, spread the word.

getting held up at gun point is fucking scary.

I know hipsters are fun to make fun of but still just heard about a dude that was shot in the face for his bike in Texas.

Oh and single gears look like fixed wheel so watch out yalls

Because it de-values the bike. I think this is obvious.

I think the lesson is not to ride a fixed gear...

I think if anyone had asked me what a fixie was before reading this thread, my first guess would have been something to do with post-op trans-sexuals. I'm not hip on the lingo you kids use these days.
