I love riding bikes.

I struggle with try hards as they are called in Aus. The fixed gear thing is fine - I think I have stated it before - I do worry about the long term effects that it will have on peoples knees.

One thing please. If you ride fixed gear, when I am commuting, do not pull in front of me at the lights only to grind away up a hill and force me into the traffic to overtake you or "top out" going down a hill and again force me out into the traffic to overtake you.

I am not a mad roadie - but - please do not get in the way of people with gears that have a better range on varied terrain.
