Just another fixie, originally uploaded by Riga Bike Tours.
The hipster craze has finally reached Riga! After some early warning signs last summer, the city has been swamped by the i phone/pad/book loving, fixed gear riding, fluro wearing scenesters. We, being a safety oriented bunch, do not approve of this reckless, brakeless fad. There are only so many old ladies you can scare and red lights you can run before people start to get upset. We want to promote a positive image of cycling, not a rude and dangerous one. There ends my rant.
