Fixed or single speed

i disagree with everything anyone's said here, on both sides, on principle.

physics is for nerdy four-eyes' who can't get girlfriends (or boyfriends). singlespeed is for timid imitators who are too scared of pedalling down a hill to ride a real bicycle. fixed gear is for aspirational courier wannabes and fashion-obsessed conformists masquerading as eccentrics. forums are for bitter, ugly fools who like to argue about nonsense with people they've never met because they can't face the prospect of actually turning a crank in anger.

now, where did i leave my bus pass?

You think cyclists would be united in a city like London. I am, lets just say disappointed with the stereotyping and schism that is expanding in the cycling world.

I swear no allegiance to any specific style of riding. They all can be a source of enjoyment and sometimes frustration. I don't want to be in any ones gang.

i believe in relative learning experiences. The more types of bike you get to ride the more first hand experience you gain which gives for better insight and understanding.

what works for me might not work for someone else. Surely that goes for everyone.

As cyclists we have the opportunity to make this a better city. While we are busy fighting amongst ourselves Boris might go and slap a tax on us.

Mashton I took the time to pick up the toys you threw out of your pram. there there... sorry the world dosn't conform to the self image you have created.
