Please Help Me Understand

This trend with fixed gear bikes please. I just don’t get the attraction to it. Lets see, you pedal all the time, then come to a stop light and show all the surrounding people in cars your balancing skills by rocking back and forth? C’mon you can do something better than that. Oh wait, lean over the bars and skid would ya? I love the fact that these purists have toe clips on these things. Man up and throw some clipless pedals on there would ya? What the fuck, is the attraction? Seriously? Like if you’re going to struggle to pedal a bike around, get a mountain bike or at the very least a BMX bike. Then you can wheelie the thing all over the place, bunny hop shit, hit curbs and fly 4” in the air and think you Dave Mirra. But to search E-Bay and Craigslist looking for the ultimate retro 10 speed frame, then throw some 20” wide straight bars on the thing and run a fixed gear with toe clips just doesn’t spark that thing in my head that says “man I got to try that shit!” Maybe it’s so you can run a messenger bag instead of a backpack? You know a backpack, that thing that sits securely on your back with the weight distributed evenly over both shoulders and held in place by a waist strap instead of this crap sitting over one shoulder and hanging off the side. Yea I get it. Fixed gear bikes…kind of like snowboarding in hard boots. Worthless!
