This, or something similar, is what was shouted at my buddy as were riding through the Inner Harbor tonight by another fixed gear rider LOL. I’m riding a brakeless track setup. My buddy is riding a basically stock Surly steamroller with the stock front brake. Were riding fairly casually slow, maybe 16-18 mph tops… just cruising over to see some friends at a bar, and this guy comes rolling up behind us on a fixed gear bike, shouts that and just keeps rolling. Looked like a messenger. He pulled off to the right and stopped like 100 yards up. We pulled off up the same way he did, rode past him stopped with no comment and that was it. I didnt know him I dont think haha.
Weird? I dont think I’ve ever witnessed or been a victim of fixism. Just had to share haha…
He was pretty self righteous, holyer than thou - esque. Maybe he stopped to check our bikes out and we TOTALLY dissed him by ignoring him. Hmm… probably not.
Well as a fellow baltimoron, the like messengers hang out more like up past the legg mason building, so my guess is that it was more like just some fixed gear dude, we have more and more everyday it seems here.
What kind of bike was he riding? Hed 3 and a chub hub?
