The article wasn't great, but some of the comments at then end are brilliant, its the internet people dont get so offended by what is clearly an attempt at humour!

author is a jealous asshole
probably racist too
i ride a fixed gear, and i get laid all the time from super hot girls as a direct result. but i guess its true what they say; those who can’t capitalize, criticize.

Fixies are so last year. Trikes are where it's at now:

ROK ON

I was going to hold my counsel on this one, but now I am furious. Furious beyond belief.

Walking down Dawson St at lunchtime and I spotted this hipster individual riding down on his/her fixie, doing a wheelie.

AAAAAAGGGGGGGHHHHHHH. This set off a primordial like rage in my that made me want to chase after this androgynous piece of hipster sh1te and beat the living bejaysus out of them.

WHO DO YOU THINK YOU ARE YOU TOTAL UTTER CREEP DOING YOUR WHEELIE.

Its like look at me, I'm on a fancy bike, AND I AM CYCLING ON ONE WHEEL. LOOK AT ME PEOPLE LOOK AT ME.

You are a infection, a germ. A canker on cycling and humanity. Go away you vile specimen.
When I am king you will be first against the wall.

I am mad, mad as hell. I havent been this mad in a very very long time. I need medication and a dark room to lie down in.

Whats wrong with doing wheelies? They look deadly, they're good for practicing your advanced balance skills, they make (most) people smile when they see them. I'd love to be able to do one. I get mad jealous when I see kids around town doing them with the greatest of ease. And people were doing wheelies long before fixies came along, its hardly just a fixed gear thing.

People get mad about the stupidest things. Somebody goes on one wheel on a bike, and you're talking about murdering them. You should re-prioritise your rage against things that actually matter.

I have taken the happy pills. All is well with the world again.

Normally it's the small inconsequential things that drive me into a rage. When the sh1te hits the fan (in terms of real life crises) I have usually managed to hold my composure and stay calm.
Just one of those things, I dont know why it made me mad. It just did.
