Singlespeed & Fixed Gear "I still feel that variable gears are only for people over forty-five. Isn't it better to triumph by the strength of your muscles than by the artifice of a derailer?

Pass Gas....

It is really tough to do on a fixie... have been riding fixed for 3 years and I swear this is one skill I can't master

I've heard from others that this technique is easier on a brooks. But it may just be hear say.

to pass a gas powered vehicle you have to pedal really really fast. Even then it is sometimes impossible.

Try farting in a quiet cube farm. Not for the faint of heart.

be very careful if you eat at a "White Castles Hamburgers"....afterwards, when you try to push ever so slightly the emmision result will be 'half and half'.....half wind/half oh-no..

I go into my bar drops. Very conducive and sometimes when you pull back up on the flats you can still smell it. I have to agree with another poster that a Brooks saddle is the preferred perch for this technique. There is a very satisfying reverb effect.
