Will you still be riding in 5 years?

ChrisNW Having said that about my family I was taken aback when my Dad after having only glimpsed my bike for seconds spotted it was fixed. I was sooooo impressed - it transpires he'd fixed his old BSA when he was about 16, back in the day! How cool is that?

im not having a dig but that could be seen as quite patronising......im sure your aware the history of the 'fixed gear',its been about alot longer the you or i.why wouldn't your dad know what is is?
my dad used to cycle alot,he doesn't so much any more.when i went back to see my mum i was rummaging through the loft and discovered some old tubs....i was like "wow dad road tubs?!" assuming that tubs were just part of the fixed gear/track scene...my mum looked at me like i was some kind of dick...she said something like "he was riding tubs before you were born".....obviously that made me think that this is nothing new..its just a slight adjustment of what was..so i shut my mouth.
