+1.

Fixies are everywhere here, with kids on top of them. Old farts ride gears and such.

Maybe it's the demographics. I know if I were a kid growing up in L.A. now, after spending hours upon hours in stop-and-go traffic, watching my folks get frustrated, when it comes time for me to drive, why would I want to impose the same on myself?

But then again, parents I speak with say it all completely changes when a kid turns 15 or 16 (whenever it is they can drive in Cali), and at that point, all they talk about is driving and owning a car.
