Fixed gear in Swedish(Svenska) is the same as in English because of the reason mentioned above. I reckon skitbraviking(kickassviking in English) has a history in Sweden?
Sure enough.
I am a dual citizen.
My dad's from Norrkoping.
My mom's parents are from Sodermalm and up near Sundsvall.
I also studied in Uppsala for the summer of '95.
I hope to be coming back next summer. I'd love to bring my bike but I don't knof if that'll be possible. But maybe, maybe.
Sweden... A third world country! LOL
