@Horatio: I'll come to polo and we can talk abou the "scene" there. Afterall my post was influenced more by Buffalo Bill's article about needing to be careful about media and subsequent police/policy backlashes (link in original post), not pining for the scene you may once had. I joinded too late for that. I just want to ride my bike(s) and not attract too much attention (from tourists and cops on a road in London OR from horse riders and farmers on a trail around Dorking).

I am sorry about being a spoilsport and a boring git, but as a freelance photographer,
ooohhh, that's nearly as bad as 'speaking as a mother…'

I'm not sure what that first sentence meant. Is it a threat? A real offer? Or an attempt to call me out as a hypocrite (making some insinuation about the polo scene, which is probably one of the most open and inclusive scenes you'll ever chance upon, and has sold itself out more times than I can count. We were even on a cookery show!)?
And Bill was writing about televising alley cats (if I remember correctly), not a ban of filming people riding around the city on the bike of their choice with the braking mechanisms of their choice. And he thinks brakeless fixies are retarded (but he also thinks lock rings are retarded), so he probably wouldn't be supportive of your secret scene, anyway. But I'm not going to put words in his mouth; you can come to polo and ask him yourself if he's the high elder of fixie culture.

No! How polo can you go?*

Exactly. That day was bright times. I was only riled by having someone say by us having a laugh we were doing harm to others.

If this results in some middle-aged Germans thinking I'm some sort of antisocial lunatic, I'm prepared to deal with the guilt, I think.

Guess what just happened? My mum called me and asked "Are you a fixie [sic]? I just saw this show on bikes in London."
Must have been on TV in Germany tonight. Needless to say, I refuted this piece of crap.

Did she ask who the goodlookin fat little baldy geezer was?

Yes, she was asking how you were. Apparently you haven't been round hers for a while.

Haha, deny everything.
You wouldn't really want your mum to know that you're in a daily fight for survival, comparing your scars in the pub with your mates' ones in the evening.
And that's just knowing Graham. The cycling is even worse. ;)

Hi ted, We've met I think. I work in EC2 and live in E9 - European fixie central. That is exactly what I mean. It is dangerous/challenging in other ways than being crazy colourful. All those newbies who'd be better off on a SS or a hybrid, but they need a track bike to fit in...
Of course kids are not going to find out from ZDF/BBC/iTV to start with, but it's all part of the same hype that you just contributed to. Rant over. Sorry I tried to steal the thread.
