"It's a ride built on adrenaline and danger, like walking across a lava flow in flip flops."

ha ha ha ha.

watch the vid.

i do have to say No Brakes is a good shop, and the guys that run it are ace.

Don't this lot believe in the "healing power of prayer" for everything? Good luck when you fall off and slice part of your body open...

I like the sound of "asphalt-sailing buccaneers"

Say what you like about god-botherers, their journalists are less lazy than the Observer's.

Started on a shoestring and grew because they are good guys. Last year they were super nice in the 24 hour race (they were a checkpoint).

If ever in Atlanta, I highly recommend stopping by.

"Fixie riders are often sly and clubby, the very definition of cliquish.

and without wishing to start a religious debate.... i wont.

anyway.. the article could have been written by anyone.. its rather funny indeed

and without wishing to start a religious debate.. my parents are Christian Sciencentists..i grew up with it. (im not religious at the moment) im 23 and never even had a cold. so either something works, or having parents who are cousins has some benefits.

There is a 'law' (I think it is called 'Poe's Law' ?) which says that religious thinking is so nonsensical that it is literally impossible to determine whether a religious statement or claim is humorous or not.

:)

and that way it shall stay! hehe

rather drunk, dunno why i posted that to be honest...

anyway... laugh at the video and ignore religion!!!

''without wishing to start a religious debate...''

is like someone saying ''I'm not a racialist [sic] but...'' then coming out with something REALLY racist.

C'mon. No one was dissing Christian Scientists.

If you WANT me to, I can.

Well, riding fixed goes completely against the evolution of bikes so I guess that means they are neo-christian bikes.

they dont believe in evolution. hence the fixed, just like the original bike. er except the wood wheels one bigger than the other etc etc.

@ pete
are yo parents really cousins? that'd be crap cos you wouldn't get so many presents at christmas.

The majority of Christians believe in evolution (although it is a slim majority).

also a religious joke. didnt mean to offend.

No need to explain yourself to me, I think firstly religion is poisonous nonsense and secondly I don't think anyone or any one group of people should be given special deference or protection from offense, if I want to call a racist an idiot or a Muslim Imam an idiot I usually do.

No one has the right to not be offended as much as religious groups would like it to be so.

If it sounds offensive, I usually meant to offend. :)

Reminds me of being in the kiddie play area at Viccy park the other day, I was chatting to this dude with a dog-collar on who's son was an AMAZING climber at a really young age, totally fearless high-up on the climbing frames. I (stupidly assuming he was an evolutionist, hardly the case with 'high' types who wear dog collars to the park...) said 'aha there's an example of proof that humans are descended from monkeys', pointing at his son. He was not amused.

:D haha !

These people have skin thinner than a knock off packet of Rizlas.

(By the way evolution does not postulate we evolved from monkeys !)

looks up postulate in dictionary

@tynan Really? what other possibilities are there?
