Mixtes are the new fixies.

And they come sans the attitude, deep V-necks and skinny jeans. They come in skirts, with baskets and bells, and they are my girls. (here is calitexican's). Tattoos are optional. Welcome to Spring 2010.
They can still be good friends though. An Italian Cinelli and my very sassy Frenchie, with a caffeinated common interest. Bike parking at Blue Bottle coffee on Linden. A happy place.
Fix me a mixte.

  5. I couldn't agree with you more. I traded in my old Fugi 10 speed (I'm not crazy enough to convert it to a fixie) for my comfortable, ladies frame Specialized Vienna and couldn't be happier. It's heavier, and I ride slower; but now I can sit upright and enjoy the ride without feeling like I have to race everywhere or impress anyone. People are never going to start riding their bikes if they think they have to become a hipster or train for the tour de France to do it.
