How To Pretend You're Riding a Fixie
So you live in San Francisco and ride a bike but it's got gears and brakes and can go up and down hills. Don't you wish you rode a fixed gear bicycle like all the cool kids? Of course you do! Here's 7 ways to satisfy your fixie urge without having to shell out for a new set of wheels.
1. Stand and pedal even when you're not going uphill.
2. Don't wear a helmet.
3. Lose 20 lbs.
4. Find any opportunity to give the finger to an automobile driver.
5. Wear a kryptonite lock in your back pocket.
6. Paint your bicycle black.
7. Confine your bicycle riding to Valencia street between 16th and Mission. 24th street between Valencia and Bryant is also acceptable.
