Like anything in pop-culture in the past twenty years, hip-hop has in one form or another touched the fashion of the sport. Basically, there are a lot of flat-brimmed ball caps and white on white sneakers out there blending with the more traditional cycling caps and cropped pants. Track bikes are cool with the cool kids. Tony Fast, “If fashion gets people riding bikes then more power to it.”

The future of fixed freestyle is up in the air. Some predict a quick disappearance, others a complete dominance of urban riding. Reality is likely solidly between those extremes in terms of mass acceptance. Dustin Klein, on the riding itself, “The trick element will definitely go up from here, people are testing the possibilities and eventually a few will really push it. It’ll get way crazier than it is right now.”
