There is alot of tension/confusion about to whom we, non-messenger fixed riders owe our allegience. Some feel that the only legitimate fixed riders are messengers, that they are responsible for the heritage. I would credit them with keeping fixed alive, even reinventing it, but having raced road I now consider myself a recultivator of early cycling tradition, of something pure. I know this is abstract, but how do you all feel?
