Rat Bikes! Pub Bikes Beaters! Frankenbikes!

C'mon guys, it's like roadies whining about cool kids not having hand brakes

Except when you ride without foot retention you have zero control unless you ride 45" or never above 8mph.

It's not. It's like people wanting people to be able to control their bikes properly.

That's what roadies are saying

Almost as silly as this:

Ridiculous cyclist classification tribalism can fuck off as well.

Damn roadies going around saying shit about us...
I hate them so much

What a melt.

Substitute roadie with people not riding fixed gear

I'm not saying it's cool to have no foot retention, to be honest it's totally dumb but everyone with two brakes on their bikes say the same about us riding brakeless.
[strike]It's also dumb if you think about it objectively but we still do it because we don't give a shit what people say[/strike] It's totally cool

.

You've still created an 'us' and 'them' based argument and I can only hope your last two sentences are utterly tongue in cheek, but I doubt it.

All the chevrons plz >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Oh god, I believe you're missing my point

No, I don't so. Unless your point was actually "riding without straps is really stupid and totally indefensible given the price for which a pair of straps can be purchased for however I expect on this forum everyone is aware of this and it's a subject that has been beaten to death much like the brakeless debate so can we stop pointing out safety problems we're aware of and get back to posting rad bikes."

Is that what you really meant because it sounded a lot more like "Lolz u guiz sound leik roadie nerdz and not sik fixeh skiddaz. we haz no break coz we r 4 real"

however I expect on this forum everyone is aware of this and it's a subject that has been beaten to death much like the brakeless debate so can we stop pointing out safety problems we're aware of and get back to posting rad bikes.

I actually meant that. If it came out wrong you have to excuse my ability to express myself

Fair enough, glad we got to bottom of it. I'd offer you a digestive and cinnamon tea but this being the internet makes it difficult!

I don't live in the UK. I don't have access to cool shit just a tri shop that help me out with their patron's leftovers time and time again. I haven't had any sort of income for the past three years. Long story. All I can do is dream of foot retention :( There will be some order tho. Gimme time.

i used gaffa tape made footstraps for a week whilst inbetween a broken set and new ones.

@sergioflorez Where do you live? If somewhere in the EU i check shipping costs and if it's not to much i will send you a spare pair of straps i have in my parts bin on my own costs. PM me.
