.....the FIXED WHEEL. The BBC will have news slots for Ragi Omar to come back into the investigative fold, uncovering this new sub culture and drawing comparisons to when skate boarding hit these shores in the 1980s.
London will be full of beautiful shiny bikes, looking beautiful, bought off the peg and draped across boozers in the summer sun. Lots of peeps riding said bikes badly, probably brakeless without the skills to walk and chew gum let alone handle traffic.
Then some young pretty things will get killed.
Then Gordon Brown will dither for a few months before banning bikes lacking in number plates, flashing lights, bells, training wheels and riders in kevlar body armor.
Muppets on bikes are dangerous. Muppets on Fixed Wheel?
Fcuk it.
