And, what's wrong with trying to look cool? It's a good portion of fun in anything. Besides, tires will last few months and it isn't much of trouble to replace tires. ... I am donning a white tire next time around to look even more cooler. My rear wheel is white you see?
Sounds like someones never used properly adjusted brakes. its not even comparable I don't care how many people say they can stop just as fast as someone with brakes (even just a front) its not true, you can stop your bike so fast you can actually send yourself flying over the handlebars if you are so inclined, until someone can do that on a fixie nothing will change my mind
