kipsy [quote]Being as I don't ride fixed and don't live in London you may wonder why I come here (infrequently). I just like bikes and talking about them. I find the whole fixed craze quite funny. It's like the Skateboarding craze about 10 years ago but for ppl a bit more grown up. I think its great though. More bums on bike seats is a very good thing imo.

I remember the skateboarding craze as being 30years ago!? (bolocks, did I miss another one?)

Is my memory starting to go......[/quote]
I think there is a resurgent craze for skating every ten years or so. The one i was involved happened around 88' / 90, the birth of streetskating today in my book.
