Rotafix on Wikipedia
I will say with some embarassment that ever since I discovered Wikipedia I've been dying to start a page. Until today, I thought every possible topic in any language had already been covered.
There is no Rotafix page on Wikipedia. I am starting it right now. Please, Rotafix enthusiasts, edit this page so we can enlighten the worldwide community with our extensive knowledge.

Haha, I've definitely seen it spelled both ways.
But I guess Rota- is based off of Rotation, so that makes sense.

no, its based off of la rota fissa - or fixed wheel
the name became commonplace after roman & milanese fixed riders placed the method (which many used before) on their website and fgg.

Well yeah, I meant "rotation" as in the "rota" prefix.
But yeah, that's rad.

Don't do it...millions of people will read the page and they will either die because rotafixing is so deadly, or they will be considered tacky by the track snobs, which apparently is as bad or worse as dying.

Sounds like a good thing, https://wikipedia.org/wiki/rotafix is a much easier URL to remember than that 209.crap
