No, seriously okes, I was sick for a long time, I need to ride. Please? This weekend, I met this woman, Lorraine, on the road, and she nearly killed me, I'm that ***. I need help.

Move to Cape Town, people riding here all the time!

 

(could also be that you scare people off, sorta like hannibal lecter ;) )

Once you have ridden one, you will know. The force will be with you!

 

Riding a fixi is cycling in its most purest, simplistic and joyful way ... they way it started and the way it was supposed to be.

 

(oh and if you had a bmx as a kid, you have ridden one!)

 

Geez that's a long time ago, actually forgot i had a BMX, wonder what happened to it?

Come to think of it, I do remember bouncing it off a curb and nearly cracking my skull open. :P

I seriously was just asking out of interest. Have never ridden one and know nothing about them. Ill do some google searching. :thumbup:

Head on over to the Fixie and Singlespeed forum, some interesting views and reasons. Personally, it's cause I'm lazy, much simpler to wash my overgrown BMX than my dual sus, many pivots/bearings/geared 26er.

 

That said, I'm lucky to have the choice of what to ride, depending on mood/terrain/weather.

 

It does help your riding (at least it has helped mine), you need to think ahead and maintain momentum, so less braking, which skills have transferred to my geared riding.

Um, you grew up, and now you ride a big boy bike?

 

Don't get sucked into the single speed black hole. It's a particular thing for a twisted individual. Much like the weirder side of fetish porn. I'm not talking like a foot or tattoo fetish, I'm saying single speed is like the midget amputee porn of the bicycle world.

Don't know about growing up, still a bloody child!

Racist.

 

Meh.

Racist sociopath.

 

 

(Busy digging on the hub for an excellent reference to the mundane nature of single gearing. One second please..)

I was asked recently if I would consider writing something about riding a singlespeed

 

All went well besides the fact that I felt like a kid on a BMX again, pedal pedal pedal freewheel repeat till end .....

 

 

There you have it !!

First the rhetoric and regurgitation followed by the the heartfelt lack-luster truth that it is boring !

Nice.

 

So my "grow up and get a big boy bike, and stop looking for amputee midget porn" comment was 100%

 

Just a little more boksburg than your subtlety ;)
