Some of us have been doing quite well, enjoying safely riding our bikes, before most of you even knew what a fixed gear is. If you want to be judgmental, go to the safety thread with this crap......really.
I think most of the 10+ year vets on track bikes are normally found in the core during weekdays. For the rest of us who are out and about in other areas of the city, experienced fixed riders are few and far between. *ducks to avoid Keith-Rage*
