Get the fixie behro mug.Spreading across the thoroughfares and avenues of gentrified and campus America; like an ungodly plague, the fixie hipster is sullying the image of cycling.
In layman's terms a fixie hipster describes the average hipster riding atop a fixed gear bicycle often termed as a fixie. Although the heritage of fixed gear cycling dates to professional couriers, messengers, and track cycling. It is unclear how this style of cycling became popular with fixie hipsters. However, it is generally believed that owning a fixed gear bicycle has been labeled "trendy" within hipster culture.

Lars: So I spent 300 dollars to get matte white Aerospokes on my pastel green fixie. It also has matching tape wrapped around the handlebars. It's the only way to ride these days. It's great when going across campus. It beats rolling around on those passé free-wheelers.
Brett: Those are some nice decorations you got there Lars. What's the sprocket size on your bike?
Lars: umm 62....
Brett: Well, do you take it to the velodrome on the weekends? I bet that rig is pretty light. Real quick on the tracks!
Lars: uhh...I use it to go get a cappuccino.
Brett: Hey you might wanna put an additional braking mechanism on to decrease your braking distance. Don't wanna slam into things buddy.
Lars: Dude that'll destroy the minimalistic, bare bones aesthetic of my bike! It's a fixie bro! Besides I use my feet to brake for emergencies.
Brett: It's just for safety sake dude. Besides how the hell can you even ride a bike comfortably in those tight slacks and slip on shoes. God what a fixie hipster!

Overly aggressive cyclists who ride fixed gear (single gear) road bikes and are generally employed as bike couriers. They have an elevated sense of importance and entitlement to the road and endanger everyone around them by running red lights, weaving between cars and getting irrate when anyone objects to their douchy ways. Their mortal enemy is the taxi driver, though they have a stong hatred of all motorists.
You can spot them at stop lights trying to impress everyone with their little balancing act, trying not to touch the ground with their feet (they will claim they do this to avoid unclipping their clip-in bike shoes). Their traditional garb includes 80's biker caps (they are far too cool to ever wear helmets), courier bags, bike shorts and ironic t-shirts.
If you see one approach at your own risk. They are known to fly off the handle or, at the very least, say something sarcastic. The best way to trap one is to lure them close with a tall boy of Stiegel of a bottle of Labatt 50 and then club them over the head with a U-lock.

Get the Fixie Pixie mug.A form of pranking. Rules vary by area and participants, but fixie hunting generally refers to a game played by cyclists in which multi-geared bicycle riders "hunt" a metropolitan area for fixed gear riders out on a ride in order to torment or ridicule them. Since fixie riders are generally not as fit as other cyclists and their bikes have a set top speed, they are easy to catch up with, prank, then leave behind.
Activities may vary from a simple demeaning sprint past them, to squirting with water bottles, yelling, spanks on the butt or simply beating the shit out of them. Once said activity has been accomplished, the riders must escape from the now-angered fixie riders and find new fixie riders to torment. Rules vary, but in general most fixie hunters do not stop riding until they find riders to torment.
