Should Fixed-Gear Bikes Be Allowed on the Road?

There's a lot of hate for Fixed Wheels on the intervoid today. A sign of a dying trend?
In my experience people will tend to do what the hell they like regardless of laws, that's why we have the much loathedloved police force. If everyone stuck to the letter of the law then there would be no such need. If everything worked perfectly 100% of the time we would need to solicitors or litigators. 1-800-I'vehadanaccidentandwanttosuesomeone companies wouldn't exist.

It's all well and good people discussing their ideals of how everything should work but no one wants to take responsibility. It's this mentality that blames the machine, not the moron behind it. Sure techinical and mechanical faults occur but surely anyone using a particular mode of transport should have the ability to ensure they can halt things safetly in these rare cases.
Using brakeless Fixed Wheels as an example, IF the chain fails (either by falling off or snapping), and that's a hell of an if, I don't know of many people who ride brakeless who couldn't bring the bike to a stop using their foot on a rear wheel or dumping themself into the floor, avoiding hurting other people. Okay so it wouldn't be elegant but that's surely why we maintain our bikes and ensure correct chain tension &c.

Articles such as these treat us as morons who consider ourselves unaccountable for our own actions. I stand by everything that I have ever done, even the mistakes that I've made, as they were my choices at a particular time, hence, my responsibility.

I've never caused physical harm to anyone by my actions. I have been at the other end of the scale hurt by someone else, Mr 50*14 as an example. Still I find it easy to forgive this as exactly what it was, an accident. Not a maliceous attemp to damage myself or my belongings.

Blame culture is a curse over intelligence.
