Or more specifically: who rides a foolish hipster/fixter setup in this? Are you guys a bunch of masochists or just stupid? I actually saw a dude rockin' at least one Aerospoke this morning on my ride to work. Sheesh. Grow up.

Well I would have taken the Ferrari to work today but it had a flat. Then I was going to take my fixed but I wore through the rear tire so I had to take my Penny-farthing instead.

I like how this guy gave winter fixie riders an option - masochist or stupid. It's unfortunate but I won't give this CL poster the same option. It's obvious he's just stupid.

Why is riding in the cold juvenile? I consider judging others for making a decision to stay healthy, active, and happy extremely juvenile and a little jejune.... :P

I'd like to think he is too scared to try it and is envious of those who brave Crazy Man Winter. But, if that's the case, what an ass-ish way to go about it. Yes - "ass-ish"

Weather is relative...Like I tell people nearly every day that express some form bewilderment-

It's only cold on the Outside.

Nice catch Howard. But I think this guy is another cyclist, since he speaks of his "ride to work..." So why be so tough on him, riding down Milwaukee Avenue on his upright Schwinn?

But he titled his post "Who the hell rides a bike in this weather?" Surely he can't be referring to himself.
