You ride a fixed gear because you want to look super cool

"But the hipster down the street has one, I want one tooooo!!! WahhhhH!!!"

***How to build the perfect hipster bike***

1. Buy some crappy 80's bike frame off CraigsList for $50.
2. Blast it with a new (preferably bright) color scheme.
3. Trick it out with some new wheels, colored spokes and rims (preferably Deep Vs [no, not the shirts, but you should wear one while riding] or Aerospokes because they look the kewlist).
4. Add a matching saddle. A Brooks saddle is also a perfect addition.
   
5. Put a straight bar on it, or some bull horns--no grip though, because your middle name is "Danger".
6. Get up on it!!! But make sure you fold your right jeans' leg up, we wouldn't want to embarrass ourselves now, would we?

***Optional steps***

• Accessorize!!! Wear a bandana tied around your head, or maybe a cool vintage hat. But do NOT, I repeat, do NOT wear a helmet. Remember, the point is to look cool. Brain damage or death is SOOOO worth it.
• Finally, when all is done, make sure to place your new ride in front of a really colorful painted wall that kind of matches your bike and take MANY photos.

Here is an example of the end result: (hipster not shown in photo)
