Another fad co-opted by The Man

Attention, penny-pinching hipsters: You can now get your fixie on at Wal-Mart.

And while you’re browsing, why not pick up a new pair of pants for your little sister, since you got chain grease and designer java all over the ones you borrowed from her?

  3. Our bike club buys a load of W-M BSO’s (bicycle shaped objects) to give out to poor kids every year, on the theory that anything is better than nothing. The assembly party is always lots of fun — my favorite moment was using the scissors jack from my car to spread forks so front wheels would fit in….
