Recently I visited a bike shop in Boulder...not going to name any names. Any way, the mechanics in back were divided into two teams: hipster fixie riders vs. elitist racer guys. It was pretty ridiculous. Every time someone from the opposite side walked into the store, the secret harassment began. If someone walked in asking if they sold fixies, it pretty much went down in back. There were catcalls, and yells of "get a job, hippie!" anonymously echoing from the shop. I've noticed that this is the case pretty much all over Boulder. I don't understand it... why can't we all just get along?
Many activities in Boulder seem to be this way, however. It's the same story with the trail runners and the racers, and the bouldering scene vs. the traditional climbers. But with biking? Does it really matter as long as you're getting out there and having fun on a ride?
