Now I know why I want to ride a fixed gear

Thanks to a University of Oregon student, who explains the fixed gear craze. He and the riders he features make some pretty compelling arguments for riding fixed, especially the part about how they’re similar to riding a tricycle. I’ve been to Eugene before, everyone rides their bikes on the sidewalks.

    so they are doing tricks the flatland BMX guys have been doing for 20 years and this is new? Hmmm.

    I’ll take brakes with my bike, thank you very much

    That seemed like a good promo on why not to ride a fixed gear - you’ll morph into tight pants wearing hiptster…

    I’m with brad… I’m pretty sure I’d break my neck trying to ride one of those bikes.
