Is the increasing popularity of fixed gear bikes sustainable?

teenslain [quote]le car my main worry is the brakeless backlash. It's gonna happen when people actually realise what is going on on their streets and we're going to be labeled murderers...

I agree with that, still think peoples are nuts driving brakeless but that's probably just me showin' up my crap skillz... Hasn't the whole pisto scene in Tokyo seen the backlash already? I hear there've been a lot of accidents getting a lot of media exposure out there...

Agreed teenslain. Without a front brake I would have been under a car last night.
Maybe those who do it cos they see it as fashion aren't going to be out on dark/cold/wet days.

Hey Tommy, would one of these fit on a shopper?..
