Riding a fixed-gear is like handicapping yourself... a wheeled freak show for wannabes.

eeehhhh What the hell is he talking about with the left trouser leg being rolled up? I've never seen a bike with a drive chain on the left hand side :S

I think that's the point of the article...that they are rolling up the wrong side of their trouser leg, because they spend more time posing with the bike than actually riding it and haven't got a clue why they are rolling up the trouser legs, just that it's 'part of the look'. You're starting to see them in London too...usually walking their chrome bianchi, with slip-on vans, podie-cap and a crumpler.
