You’ve made a good point about the hazards of generalising …
yep, its the same generalising that car drivers use on cyclists that we seem so quick to point out…
Ive had plenty of “cooler than cats” looks from fixie/SS kids. Big deal, its just them, crazy to think everyone is like that who rides pista.
Remember if your going to hate, hate the person, not the group!! 
Two days ago I saw some old dude riding to work on a fairly new looking Pinarello, dress shoes, black slacks, and a short sleeve shirt with a tie. I was stoked, he looked like Sipowicz. Wish I was Sipowicz…
Sipowicz ?!?! man that’s scary.

Enough with Pista bashing, maybe I should just sell it. 
I love riding my bike. I love riding my fixed as much if not more than my roadie. I’m sponsored for road so I’m lucky enough to own a $10g+ road bike. I couldn’t care less about what the accountants on Beach rd think of me or that most fixie riders won’t talk to me when on that bike. Why all the attitude? Who really cares? All I care about is riding my tredley and meeting some people who love riding as much as I do.
Word.
Like I said ‘petty as…!’
