uh, it's actually pretty informative (for those unfamiliar with a fixed gear) and pretty reasonable.

I really shouldn't have read your post based solely on your name and the fact that you use the "word" "fixy" but i decided to and read the article and I see absolutely nothing wrong with the article written that you linked to. in fact i would say its almost 100% accurate. now the real question is... what did you see wrong with what he said?

I dont really see what he said that you have a problem with. It seems like his intention was to explain fixed to people who casually or don't ride.

grow.

If you hate my bikes that's cool with me... If you tell me that because of my bike I drink my coffee like the soccer mom that takes 5 minutes to order her drink.... That is something else.
