Thats why I said everyone is downplaying it alittle. I want members here to know to be careful.
Maybe I can switch between the two easier than I think if I just give it more time. Its just the emergency stuff Im worried about.
the tittle of you thread read "Fixies Are Dangerous!" you were looking for an argument right then and there. other than that. No it wasn't a big deal. i didn't know this forum existed or the culture that followed riding a fixed gear bike. but i was told about the bike, and recommended to the Pista by a gal who was on of Philly's fines messengers (before she moved back home to AZ). i knew what i was "getting into" so i knew what i needed to do. BUY A BRAKE AND NOT *****! stop acting like you're better because you "ride MTN." and you "are faster and can do everything we can do on a ""Fixie"" fast and better." can you pedal backwards on a SS bike? now that's something i want to see.
p.s. i can't believe i got so riled up by a troll i can't stop posting. oh well, it helped my day go by.
