Here in Portland, the Hipness Police require you to meet at least one of the following conditions:
(a) Mustache and plaid trilby
(b) Tats on your tits
(c) Ride a fixie bike
(d) Yeah, you were into the Black Keys before everyone else was, and now you've moved on

The other three options being unappealing, I'm thinking about (c).

What's it like to ride a fixed-gear bike on the road? How about a fixed-gear track bike? Is there any thing fun, or good for you, about it?
