Death by mainstream...

If you haven't heard about fixies and the hipster culture surrounding them yet, you must have kept your eyes firmly shut or lived in a very far away place. These things are everywhere, yet there are very few people who know how to ride them - especially without brakes. Annoying or super cool? I'll leave it up to you.

Well, you know a trend has been killed by the mainstream when they make a Hollywood movie out of it, so: RIP.
