The track bike guys stick together on break.
I'm DT a fair bit for work and I see lots of single speed/lonely front disc setups with rat tails. Years ago it was all fixed with a couple bmx guys. Things change. Sorta weird to see a heavy girl as a messenger on a stripped down, crappy old Cannondale. Used to be ALL skinny white guys on track bikes.
Outside of the viaduct or the burrard bridge it's dries up real fast. I got a lot of weird looks today riding my track bike brakeless in town from the locals. You'd think that this city would be awash in fixed gear bikes but oddly, no. Most people have stopped asking me what the hell it is.
