Alfred Jarry used to ride fixed. Apparently he used to carry a loaded pistol and fire it at buildings as he rode around.

Crazy loose chain though. Even under pressure!
Maybe he's trackstanding.

ummmmm.
The coaster brake bike- is that designed to allow you to look like a 'cool' fixed gear fakenger, but without any of that trifling difficulty of actually riding a fixed gear? -

Is this also for those who want to look like a 'cool' fixed gear fakenger?

i meant on owen wilsons sleek bike:
There is no way that this geometry, etc. is not designed to mimic the fixed gear look
It has track ends as well -

in that sense BMX's is supposed to mimic the fixed look? they use backward facing dropouts. a lot of SS mtbs are the same, it's just makes much more sense because chain tension is important on both fixed and SS.

i agree. looks more like a bmx, surely (gusset, bars etc).

Or rather- fixed is trying to emulate BMX?

the very first bicycles are fixed, BMX came out much later. and it's not about emulating each other it's just for practicality's sake.
