yea it is spot on.........and the excuse I here from many fixed tricksters is that it's harder on a fixed wheel

it's harder on a bloody tandem!!! But you don't see them trying 180's on them because it isn't "cool"!

Wow, grumpy old men day today is it?

G: Amsterdam has such a long and deeply established ideal of what constitutes a city bicycle. People couldn't believe I would carry my track bike up the stairs and into my place each night–bikes are generally used as 'work tools', ridden into the ground and kept locked up on the streets. Consequently, it's a slow evolution to get people there to understand that there are options outside the typical (oma fiets) or, grandma bike that 90% of the population rides. While I was living there, there were fifteen to twenty track bikes in the entire city, with all of them (with the exception of mine) being ridden by messengers.

Very true! Apart from now more and more Single Speed (most of them built up with a coaster hub) Track bikes seen on the streets. Not too many Fixed riders.
