I know they get a lot of stick, but some designers are actually quite into "design", and not just what is cool. The design aspects of a fixed gear bike are very appealing to someone who naturally finds the clumsiness of pushing a chain between sprockets off putting and only uses three gears at most. Not to mention the feel of being in full control of your back wheel.
I'm a designer by the way. My bike collection is at three and a half at the moment. The half is a stalled build waiting for more funds, which will probably be provided by selling one of the others! They're all cheap cobbled together machines, except for the new one.
Is being a paramedic anything like that Scorsese film with Nicholas Cage?
