I've been getting some real pain in my left knee in the last month or so, is there anything I can try adjusting on the bike to clear it up?

I'm hoping it's my saddle or pedals, and not some of the gooey stuff inside my leg parts...

Like Jonny's?

He's like a mouse - he can fit through any gap he can get his skull through.

Oh, so what cranks would suit them then? I don't fancy getting a Paul crank if you can't replace the cog with whatever brand you choose.

Are the chain rings on their cranks proprietary, or a standard part? Do you have to buy replacements from them?

Anyone hear anything about these?

Guy on a turquoise(?) 70s-80s fixed in Brixton about 6pm tonight - you overtook me and I chased you all the way to Herne Hill station. Wasn't easy keeping up, was glad when you turned left and I turned right - didn't have to admit defeat!

I saw them at a nice little music/literary festival called Latitude. They played as a band then the beardy chap also did some stints in the poetry tent. Top work.

Tall trike?

Yeah, the gravity in Peckham was particularly strong last night.

He has some good ones apparently, but he has to wait until the review is published to put them up. Will let you know.

Ratboy, did you fix your cog in the end?

Wow, I love those rims. Found this on Google;

Thanks for the Love Hearts, Em, and for calling me fat. Cheers to Jonny too for leading me safely home.

I play moderate guitar, but I've never played in a band before. Would love to get involved if it was light hearted.

What time chap?

Didn't bike in today, if I can get back in time then I'll pop over

Or try to but get lost.

Lloyd has asked me to post the following message. He lives in Canada, but we've agreed that next time he's in London we'll go out for a beer and he will try my fixie out.

Thanks for your interest and your tech skills that made this the most voted on survey ever for TreeHugger. Neat trick!

In my own defence, I would like to note:

a) I am a cyclist and bike year round, mainly on a road bike but in winter in snow on a mountain bike. Bikes are my main mode of transportation, including a 4500 km ride from Toronto to Vancouver.

b) The "movement" I talk about is to gain rights for cyclists to have safe bike lanes, educated drivers and more cyclists year round. it is a battle here.

c) it was not an article, it is a survey, a question. I could have phrased the intro a little better and have been a little more balanced, and understood the significance of separating the issue of the fixed gear and the brakes. I do now. I perhaps was made more concerned because we have ice and snow on the road, the bike lanes are full of snow, we are pushed out into narrower lanes and reaction time and stopping distance is critical.

regards, lloyd alter.

This isn't cool. The guy wrote a piece that you disagree with and you call him, a friend of mine, a knob.

If we were all sitting in a pub talking about this you wouldn't say that to his face, and I don't see why you feel justified in doing it now.

And also, no one had to get personal and offensive about it. Like I said, Lloyd is a good guy, and certainly not a "fucktard".

I just wanted to point out that it was the opinion of one writer. Trawl through those posts and you will find pro- and anti-nuclear power/carbon offsetting/iron seeding articles as well. It's not as though TreeHugger is anti-fixed gear.

Considering the scale of the controversy I am thinking of writing an article on it, although that may just stir things up further.

It's better than average. Unless 200,000,000 people worldwide ride fixed?

My point was just that not everyone is an expert on everything. I posted the link so that you could, if you wanted, drop a comment on the article, or take part in the survey, to educate people who don't know about fixed gear bikes.

There was a power cut in Kennington the other day - hence no traffic lights. Scared the crap out of me. Mind you, I think people would learn to deal with it.

I cut through a park to avoid it, and took a tumble when I slid on some mud. Conclusion? Parks are more dangerous than roads without traffic lights.

Tynan, 'they' include around 30 writers, at least one of which rides a fixed.

This article won't make a dent in overall traffic, don't be so cynical! We run surveys all the time.

I agree that it's a little one-sided, which is why I thought you might want to have your say.
