Why in god's name would I buy a Brompton?nasty little folding bikes are an answer to a question nobody asked.A pox on them.Actually,a poster named pip,very kindly gave me a few pointers and provided some excellent links.I'm just not sure about how much I'd like the pedals always being in motion whether I like it or not.Does one simply get used to this?What,if any,are the main drawbacks to riding fixed.I ask because you lot speak from experience.I didn't mean to snap at MrSmith,but I thought I was getting a snobby brush-off.I react badly to snobs,(unless,of course,it's me being snobby,which is entirely justifiable).He was probably just being flippant,which is fine.So not a cunt,but maybe an occasional prick,just like the rest of us.Except for Tom Waits,of course.
