Sorry, re-cycler, but THAT'S ^^^ a good car analogy.

Why not give it a try? I know you'll like it. You just might get hooked and become a fixed gear elitist and forget all about geared bikes, like me. All you have to lose are your misconceptions. [/QUOTE]

Was the OP saying that they were flat out anti-fixed? Or were they just curious?
