I have seen some jaw dropping jackassery in denver lately, really wish I could have snapped some pics.
Saw mid 40s guy in boot cut jeans riding a complete Giant Omnium brakeless (obvi) with $10 flat pedals (no retention) and risers the width of his palm. To top it off he locked it up to a railing right underneath a giant "Do Not Lock Bikes Against Railing" sign.
But hey, he is in on this hot new "fixie" fad!
