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

TheBrick(Tommy) Sound like some one who knows fuck all. For a start he is confiusing fixed wheels with track bikes, not all fixed wheels are track bike. That really pisses me off fixed wheel bike have been around for years before a track even existed (I know I am preching to the converted here sorry). Then staement like "left leg of their jeans rolled up," Left leg?

One of the thing I always like about bike is it is up ot you to ride what you want, if you want to ride a fixed wheel cool , if you want to ride a touring bike cool, set the bike up the way you like not the way someone tells you, one brake two brakes no brakes, gears no gears, mudgard no mudgard backpack, messengerbag, panniers, who cares? Your on a bike and happy. This bullshit gets right on my tits.

Yeah, this is just the f*k*ng*r thing in a different costume...
