do you normally brake by putting backward pressure on the pedals? does it have a hand brake? sounds really cool and i'd like to have a go one day!
Yep, I brake like any one else who rides fixed brakeless - by exerting backward pressure on the pedals. Though, I am not clipped in, which makes it a little harder. And more fun. You are welcome to have a go sometime.

Spotted 9 out of 10 forumengers in Condor, and at South drinks shortly thereafter. How tediously predictable.

to be honest mate, i think your bike was/is a bit of a joke.
but neither of them are my cup of tea to be honest.
each to their own i guess.Hang on.........Am i correct in thinking your bike appeared as a 'dont' in vice magazine?
I'd be gutted. -

no it was on nothing . . .
so im not sure if it was on do or dont . . . -
• #9584
I'd still be gutted.

• #9585
it was a don't. Now vice has deemed track bikes uncool, expect all the east end hipster kids to be selling up.

I should have been 25 in 83, modern metal is fucking BALLCOCKS

anyway, it's not about howlong you've been into it, it's how much you truly love and appreciate metal. Metal is for life, not just a burzum tshirt.

Not for me it wasn't. :)
Same as one of the other metalheads I used to know.. randomly spotted him at a rave in Melbourne.. converted into a full on technohead like me. HA! -

Epic chase,
hippy where exactly did you go when you jumped into the mirror? -

A few times.... but purely by accident. I'm also trying to learn to brake with my shoe on the back of the wheel, for extreme circumstances. It'll save me doing running jumps (mulga bill style) which can be terrifying depending on speed/gradient.
mulga bill: legend. the original brakeless hipster.
kat, your post reminded me to go and look up the poem, which I used to love when I was a kid. my dad could recite it from memory.
