Singlespeed & Fixed Gear - fixed-gear vs mv

I'm a ff in san diego and during my shift today (i'm still at work - 24hr shifts) we responded to a mva (motor vehicle accident). as a longtime no-brake rider i was surprised to see a passenger vehicle with a frank damage to it's left headlamp and a fixed-gear bike broke in two. the rider will be okay and charges will not be filled to the driver of the car. it happened at night and the fixed-gear head no lights and no brake. the bike looked to me like one of those cheap fixed gear bikes sold at bikes direct.

Care to add some flavor? Your post is a bit too dry to elicit a real response.

wish i could - but the medics tx him to the er.

however he was lucid to person place and time with good motor x4.

he should be okay.

That's a problem with Chinese products. And why would anyone taste a bike frame?

Mmm delicious 4130 chromo...

I love Taiwanese Bike builders!

They are making awesome frames!

All this made in America **** is crap! So stupid! I guess not being American, I don't care, but I don't care about made in the UK. I don't care about where it was made, as long as it was made well with skill, craftmanship and a company that will back up the work!

I love my Specialized Enduro S-Works! One of the most amazing frames. And proud of the fact that it was made in Taiwan.

That's a little harsh, but I do have a giggle everytime I look at my Trek520 - there's a sticker on the rear fork that proudly proclaims that it was 'hand built in the USA' ... that sticker is crooked and has a wrinkle in it :lol:

if i was to hazard a guess,

the "flashy lights people" "took" him to the "hospital." he "knew what the deal was" and "could move four of his limbs."

do i win?

thats funny. Unless I know something is a quality product, i don't think of made in america as a good thing.

10-4

...i mean, that would be correct

TX = transferred
ER = emergency room
X4 = four times (4 times what, I don't know)

I think this thread could (and should) evolve into the very first anti-Bikes Direct thread in the entire history of Bike Forums.

After all, only someone who would buy a BD bike would get hit by a car. Silly stupids!
