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...

The moral panic about bikes seems to me to be abating a bit, doesn't it? Maybe cos there's less of us on the road now its coooooold. Brrrr. I hope to Dog the Standard don't start a brakegate panic.
