Fixie Fashion Fad Finally Finished

As far as I know, Will Self bought his fixed gear from Brixton Cycles some time before they became trendy. He wrote this article in May 2006 http://comment.independent.co.uk/columnists_m_z/will_self/article571523.ece which by my reckoning is around a year before this forum started. So him riding fixed foreshadows fixed gears being trendy, rather than showing that they're not trendy any more.

I know this is kinda pointlessly pedantic, but I like Will Self's writing and quite like the fact that he's written one of the few interesting articles about fixed gears. Plus he lives in Brixton which is another point in his favour.
sorry i couldn't read past "I yearn for a fixed-wheel bicycle"... twat. its not the same will from hubjub is it... hes lovely
