And why don't they wear helmets? I'm noticing it more and more these days...the hip/scenesters on the fixed gear bikes darting in and out of traffic, cycling en-masse through the boulevards. I'm just wondering whats up with it; I asked my pro-cycling friend who told me they've traditionally been used for training and endurance, but I doubt the kids are into that. And why aren't they wearing helmets? You would think darting and buzzing in and out of downtown street traffic helmets would be on the last, but does it damage their purported street cred? tag:ask.metafilter.com,2008:site.89865 Sat, 26 Apr 2008 19:58:13 -0800 bikes cycling fixie hipster scenester virga
