Yeah I think it will be the local bit at the end.

No mention of the slaves either, shame.

anyhow...whats this guys name?...lets change the discussions name and start abusing him! :)

hippy What? No Rollapaluza plug?? :P

Winston tried to ride into the camera and show his t shirt.

that was an ok spot to be fair, short and sweet, credible information, no mention of brakeless etc etc... of course they're gonna call it a 'fixie', it's way more catchy than 'fixed gear bike' (even though i think it's an 'orrible word). It means they can label a whole scene, it's the media all over.

bogus journos.
get him some stabilisers. and tranquilisers.

aidan anyhow...whats this guys name?...lets change the discussions name and start abusing him! :)

Alex Fisher.

Superprecise that was an ok spot to be fair, short and sweet, credible information, no mention of brakeless etc etc.

+1 - pretty good piece.

"this...is a fixie... which means it's got no freewheel and you have to use your legs to brake"

does not dispel the myth that all fixed wheel riders are brakeless lunatics.
