I rode a fixie for 100 miles and never once skidded.
Ha! These are all me as well. Except for the fixie bit.

I like the weight weenie insanity and weighing things in grams, but can't for the life of me kick my soda habit or bother to just count calories. Absolutely pathetic.

Also, I just put clipless pedals on my commuter and embarrassingly tried a bunny hop in public. I didn't fall, but couldn't get the rear wheel to come up and I'm sure I looked like an idiot.

And not being able to ride with no hands does bother me, but I'm always too scared to practice. I need a mountain bike...
