rode my fixed bike on gravel last week, no fiery death or pursuit by angry mob of Jan Heines, plus I was dressed very unfashionably.
I may have inadvertently killed fixed gear.Soz

Fetches pitchfork and flaming torch...
I rode all over Slovenia in the late 90s, most high passes were on gravel (there was no choice) on 23mm tyres. Reports of my death have been exaggerated.
I accept your apologies for killing fixed, a noble gesture, but it was not you, it was @amey and his bloody ebike(s).

Fuck fashion, I love riding fixed, I will ride one of my 3 tomorrow. If I was briefly fashionable in 2008 it was a regrettable coincidence.
Tarmac has been invented, why would anyone ride on this 'gravel' stuff of which I have heard and why would you need to spend shitloads on an ugly bike to do so?
