Please. Everyone.

"Toe clips".

They're not cages. The pedal cages are what the toe clips attach to.

Please do your part to keep me from twitching.

yeah but still, i don't think you should ride without toe clips, i don't think anyone should enter the fixie world without haveing toe clip experience, haha. atleast use just one!

get that BB tuned up quick like.

a few days after i started skidding, my BB had some looseness... my LBS said if i had waited it could have potentially been bye bye for the threads..

congrats on skidding. i was giddy after learning in the rain..
