Your cog is slipping.
He was banned and came back with a new username, which resulted in him being banned again. He wrote Tom and I apologies and was allowed back (again). I'm pretty sure he had another episode in the 'Today I' thread, resulting in another ban. Then Tom locked him away in Trollheim, where he is currently residing.
Phil Schwartz is not pleased ha.

I thought fixed gears stopped being "trendy" around the time WalMart started selling them.

I ride fixed because it's fun, and I get sweet thigh muscles, and I love the looks I get from roadies when I pass them with my one gear.
LL, stop trying to be funny. It doesn't usually work out for you.

I must be old. This thread seems embarrassingly immature to me.

A lot of people will say stuff like " you are one with the bike," or "you really feel the road," or "it's the ultimate in simplicity." While these reasons are valid, what about the people that got into it because they just thought it was ****ing cool? What's wrong with telling the truth?
It is too confusing. It's like sqrls. I am not meant to understand.
