MessenJah, I'm inclined to say that you could indeed possibly need some assistance with the management of your anger in this case. But then I do agree with you about the set up, just not about the death/fatal maiming of the rider in said image. The other thing I will note is that the probable reason for her not having any foot retention could well be due to her not being fixed. Her legs look very relaxed and I think she's 'having a rest'. If this is the case then I would quite like her to crash because there is absolutely no excuse for running only a front break with a free wheel. It's for fake style-mongering dick heads who want to have that 'fixed gear look' without actually knowing what it is to ride a fixed gear. I really do aim, very strongly, to swerve as sharply as possible in front of anyone running only a front break with a free wheel. They deserve to go over their handlebars and learn a lesson the hard way.
It wasn't meant to be a rant, but I was forced by the stupidity of people. Done.
