Hitting the Mall; and making a first impression

"This is how we do it.
Its friday night, and I feel all right
The party is here on the west side" - Montell Jordan

To our surprise there has been no slow down to the adoption of over indie-cised fixed gear riding.

So here are some cool ideas of documents/objects to weave into the rear wheel spokes of your fixed gear bicycle.
We think this will buy another 2-3 months for the craze:
-business cards from now redundant clients of formerly high profile investment banks
-drink coaster of an ironic beer brand
-business cards from members of your scooter gang (see prior post for reference)
-laminated flattened packet of Kool cigarettes
-entire Tempest set of MTG cards
-laminated minor police infringements (e.g. riding with no helmet, jay-walking)
-a Warhol postcard
-laminated favorite StS blog post
-Highway 61 Revisited album art
-laminated $400+ receipt from American Apparel
-Early 90's football or basketball collector card
-'Go Vegan' bumper sticker with backing still on
-generic family photo that comes in a purchased photo frame


To solve the conundrum of how far to roll the left leg of your skinny jean up, we suggest switching to elastic waisted and cuffed denim pant. Hard to come by yes, but the comfort and convenience will make the hunt worth while. An ironed in hard crease will complete the look.
