this is flawed, because they are making the assumption that only hipsters use fixies in SOCal. The surfer community has tons of beach cruisers that are fixed gear, and I dare you to go to a parking lot or a lineup and call a bunch of surfers 'hipsters'....
- jleader 15y agoMy grasp of the details of bike terminology is rusty, but don't cruisers usually have a single-speed freewheeling coaster-brake hub, rather than a fixed hub? So when you stop pedaling on a coaster, the wheels keep turning freely, and when you try to back-pedal, it applies a brake inside the hub? As opposed to a fixie, where the pedals turn whenever the wheel turns.
