is it just me or do other cyclists who don't ride fixed think you are mad? i ride socially with a lot of cyclists who ride all sorts, bmx/downhill/mtb/road/4cross/singlespeed mtb/fixed road.
but am getting loads of stick from those who have 'normal' road bikes (and mtb's etc) about having a fixed with a normal and cross lever for the front brake, they think it's some insane crackpot idea and a totally pointless bike to ride on the road when i find it perfectly suitable.
i find "just because you don't like it doesn't mean it's wrong" goes some way to shutting them up but they still think you have a screw loose.
so is it just me or do others get the same amount of stick?
