Rat Bikes! Pub Bikes Beaters! Frankenbikes!

Just hope you don't eat door handle one day!!
Being a rebel is great until the shit hits the fan (or car door)?!
I've bin there!

The path of the stopless can not be ridden by everyone.

Yes, I thought I was indestructible once too.....................

So you have come to save us?

Nah...... but you can't buy experience!

You are Charlie Alliston AICMFP

Nope, next guess.......

BTW...... Charlie Alliston hasn't been riding fixed for 40 years......... unless he was a very clever baby?!

Brakes=death. Any fixie skidder worth their salt knows that. More people have died or been injured with brakes than without FACT!!!!!1
Helmets just make people want to kill you and lights cause fights.

Strangely that's not actually true.
Yes there are more people killed with brakes, but only because there are not many 'skidders' (who are statistically more likely to be killed)!
The key word in your tirade is 'skidder'....... a more credible observation is that Skid = Death;
You are not above physics or other peoples stupidity!
BTW - 5 exclamation marks is shouting and is just rude!

Yes, but the law says 2 brakes are required

Nope. Fixed wheel does count as a method of braking. Law requires one brake if fixed (as long as its on the front), 2 if freewheel

Does slamming shoe/foot/whatever is solid in wheel count as braking?

You are his mam?

That's right, as I said a 'secondary' brake is required as well as your fixed wheel.
Nice to hear a voice of reason........

Fixed wheel does count as a method of braking. Law requires one brake if fixed (as long as its on the front

There's a thin line between clever and stupid. You just crossed it. Since fixed counts as a brake, a bike with fixed plus a front brake has two brakes. Ooh, that's exactly what the law requires, exactly as our sanctimonious no-name commentator says 🙂

As if.......
That's for those BMX boys :/

King of pedants is fine with calling fixed gear a brake?
You've changed man.
It is a method of braking but its not an actual brake is it?
Anyway, I looked above our new friend's original post and saw the first few bikes all with front brakes so probably wrongly assumed he was on about adding a rear.

Edit: In fact I'd go as far as to say it isn't actually a method of braking but rather decelerating since braking is most often achieved by means of friction

Oh goodness. Turn your irony detector on, dismount your unnecessarily high horse and get back under your bridge.

Exactly my point, but my comment was about the numb nuts who ride 'round with only the fixed wheel!
Not sure I like the 'sanctimonious' tag? :)

Actually velodrome rules don't permit many of these bikes as they have the wrong styles of handlebars or have brakes fitted. Can't just turn up at a velodrome with your brakeless bullhorn bike and expect to ride.

Not sure I like the 'sanctimonious' tag? :)

There's a very easy way to not get called sanctimonious

Now there's a change of tone....... not much irony to detect in your previous post!
I truly hope that you don't believe the previous stuff you wrote?!

jeez?

Correct, but you can hire a bike and shoes from the velodrome and be taught the rules of the track..... sorry to disappoint but anarchy doesn't work on the track.

That's for those BMX boys :/

That's sexist and also discriminating us fixie skidders
Ban pls
