Amazing; what ever came of this?













This is stupid, surely a fixed gear is a brake; and surely you have the choice to ride a fixed gear, just liek you have a choice to ride the bus. If you don't take your life into your hands then who does? It smacks of America to me, typical Americans in high places; maybe he thinks God doesn't ride Fixie?? He'd be wrong!
