Being a Pantywaist running gears on my road bike, I decided to try and improve my leg strength for both Mountain Biking (Where I wear baggy shorts) and road biking. I ended up purchasing a Windsor Clockwork and swapped out the broken out of the box freewheel for a fixed cog. It is very much improving my cycling but damm near scared the crap out of me the first few times I thought I could freewheel. I kept the brakes, and find them very useful even with the fixed gear in traffic situations. As far as the Zen connection quote, I think your skinny jeans are cutting off your circulation. I ride geared road and mountain as well as single speed mountain and now fixed, and don't remember the last time I meditated on my bike.

Main Entry: Zen

that's what's up.

You took offense to pretty obvious sarcasm.

I ride fixed because it's fun. Don't try to make the motivation more complicated than it is. I couldn't care less if it's trendy.

LOL, if anything annoys me it's people who go "hey take the brake off!"
I ride a bike b/c i love biking and hate public transport and traffic

a bike isn't a fashion statement. these hipsters they are part of some scene and "culture" (meanwhile it's not bike culture, since i'd love for more people to ride bikes instead of cars, and most other bikers would agree.) It's a judgmental, trendy, pompous bull**** popularity contest that somehow makes you HARDCORE for not having brakes on your bike.


did you know most bicycle riders die when they get hit by a car? So spider like reflexes and a ZEN CONNECTION to the bike won't stop you when a guy driving a truck doesn't see you, but of course wearing reflectors and riding with brakes is LAME.

What does the OP look like?

Nice mandals.

I actually did once. She is still riding brakeless a year later. She is a MUCH stronger rider than I, and runs a taller gear. Very humbling.

(yes, gave her a caliper, a couple colors of cable housing, and a lever)

Win.

My Bike My rules, I have bikes with brakes I have bikes without brakes.

Ride your own ride

i think i've heard the zen is bull**** argument longer than i've heard the for the zen argument

So. Not much happening in BFSSFG tonight?

I am so trendy all the other kids want to be like me and when they aren't riding because they are scared of a little snow, ice, and -40C temps... I am.

If I am trendy in any way at all it isn't because I ride a fixie.

Brakeless or brakeful riding? Click only if you really want to know the truth:

I love that video. I'm actually serious though, I've been looking for it for a while.

Yup basically fixed gear bikes are for frat 'bros' and nostalgic pabst blue ribbon drinking people longing for the early noughts.

Rick Astley learned all his dance moves from me.
