should have guessed!

it's fair ennough though, i was at spitalfields yesterday and fixed wheel bikes were by far the most common. i'm sure of it. every other rider was on one. why buy a hybrid when you can ride a charge plug?

I was worried that you weren't going to take another breath there, Caspar. :-P

what a load of shit

what i want to know is what are they doing in Jos's flat??

big-ups for the monopoly ride, woot :)

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

Or either of the two brake levers clearly attached to his bars. Amayzing.

Come on it was not that bad, it was a short segment, boaring but it was a small slot in the evening news.

ha ha ha

just sw the dvert on bbc news...

"free wheeling is for whimps! we explore the pheromone of the fixie"

pheromone?!

phenomenon.

I find it so funny that we're so eager to slag off any kind of recognition of our beloved bikes/culture/whatever by 'outsiders'. do we think that bikes are a good idea or not? are we worried that it'll become a trend (it already has)? what is the problem? i know it's a bit embarassing to watch but who cares?

"Paul and Caspar where among the first people to ride fixed gear bikes on the road"

Guys, you both look good for your age ;-)

No, I know the thread.. I was jokingly agreeing that couriers = curryers.. nevermind I was laughing in my disturbed brain space :)

I don't think it's bad. It's f*cking geeky. Big-arse cycling nerds. Not at all cool. = works for me. certainly doesn't make me want to get out to the shops and buy a "fixie" . What's with the "through the wheel" angle. GEEKS! I like the disappearing components too. Who was this made for Sesame Street?!
