Before anyone posts anything else about brake-less fixed gear bikes, take a look at this:

Since this is the "commuter bike picture thread", maybe everyone with an opinion on the brakeless issue could take it outside already. 
Pedal On!

There are several pictures of this bike scattered throughout the commuting forum, but I thought I would post another, more seasonable shot. Sorry, it's a bit blurry. 2000 Raleigh Inferno mountain bike that's been commuterized.
Nope, we haven't had nearly as much snow as Minneapolis.

Here's a couple pics of my commuter bike after it met with an Infinity Q45 that was making an illegal right-turn from the wrong lane.

Man, you come in here looking for bike pr0n, only to find bike snuff instead. 
Glad that you came out alive and not too broken, and I hope that your frame is OK. In a better world the insurance company would fully compensate you for medical, bike repair/replacement, work time lost, and suffering; on top of jacking the Infiniti driver's rates so high that the idiot would have to stop driving. While the latter is unlikely, the former is possible. Best of luck with the claim, and don't be shy about bringing in a lawyer if the insurance company balks. It may seem sleazy, but it's how the system works.

Deshi, I'm alright. I'm a bit banged up but I'll definitely be riding again as soon as I get my whip repaired or replaced. Oh well; I was tossing around the idea of building new wheels anyway (black hubs/spokes with silver Velocity Deep V rims would look really cool IMO).
I'm actually waiting for the lawyer to meet me now. They sound very optimistic about my case since it's a clear-cut, no-fault accident and the law is on my side.
Griddle, I'm sorry for upping the bike pr0n ante too hardcore. I come here for the same reason but the Spesh *is still* my commuter. Enough with the snuff, on with the pr0n.

Figured ive been posting nearly two month old pics of the kuwie, about time to put some new ones up. Ive got about 700mi on it now since the build with only a broken chain (had over 3kmi on it). Im stilll loving it, its got everything you need stability, strength, holds it own in sprint. I fear i was too lazy by not adding a clear coat on and the metallic paint is just too thin ive already got cable and lock rub down to the primer. But maybe the next snow fall ill tear her down and repaint

Ahem, bikes:
Univega Grand Turismo. Supposedly built in the Miyata factory. Brooks. Coolstop Salmon pads. Schwalbe Marathon tires. Built like an ox.
You gotta squint to see it.
Old steel beast. Rando handle bars with Shellac over Riv nude cork tape. Brooks b17 copper. Coasties Coaster Brake wheel set - two years - no front brake - no problems, AND I've raced it in Seattle: https://coasties.com/blog/coasti-es-a...ssault-seattle
@That Linux Guy: Bike snuff pictures scare the hell out of me. I'm glad you are mending. If you want a set of wheels built with black spokes, I'll give you a helluva deal.
