You know you're fixed gear crazy when...

you will only consider acknowledging another rider once you have verified that they have no gear mechanism and you have also convinced yourself that bike can't possibly have a hub gear.

Yes I shouted a "do a skid" to a geared fella in Camden last week who looked more than disturbed.

when you count bikes instead of sheep.

When you read all these posts....

...and agree.

defintely!

When you co-edit a Fixed magazine, work 365 days a year with fixed gears and have to constantly change the parts on all 7 bikes you own!!!

All 7 being fixed...

Please make sure NOBODY sees you doing this. You'll not only look it but you'll feel like a proper fucknut

...you press F12 and the majority (if not all) of the stickies on your dashboard are fixed-related. You're likely to find topics/lists such as frames you're interested in purchasing next, your dream bike, what you want to buy next and various sums scattered around working out how much you can afford to spend next month on bike goodies.

Hahaha. Word!

when u realize you have to move out of ur 2 bed flat into a 3 bed house because there is not enough room for bike and spare frames etc etc.

3 bikes, 6 ratios, is that crazy?

What is actually crazy is that currently only one of my bikes is working as all the others have been canibalised for the polo bike! And while I'm waiting to become a father, I'm not allowed to play polo!

i dont ride fixed.
