Yes, we'll have to go Dumpster Diving in a year or two when the fixie fad is over.... That's where most of them will end up after graduation!

Neuter the bike, neuter the rider.... Where's my pinking shears! 
On Saturday as I was coming in from a ride 3 young candidates for the Darwin Award passed by me on new (extremely over priced) fixies with no brakes and no helmets.
They were riding down the middle of a busy street with their front wheels 1-3 feet off the ground and the front wheels turned at 90° oblivious to traffic. If they had to stop in a hurry, they would probably be thrown to the ground.
In a lot of hospitals making the morning medical rounds on the neurology ward is called "watering the vegetables"
