Fixie tyres??

[3narf]

My old man has admitted having a fixie (this isnt a new term) wihout brakes etc as a young lad. Only found this out recently despite me riding since I was 16 at club level, and had a fixed road bike for 4 years. Things let slip after a few ales.I am 43 now and mine isnt a fixie, its a fixed gear road bike, it isnt cool, just fast.

So did my dad! He used to commute on one while doing his Apprenticeship in Glasgow in the '50s.

I guess nobody here has ever heard about having fun.

It's true, if you're going to ride fixies, which are gay, you might as well make a tit of yourself by fitting pink tyres and sliding around everywhere.








Hahahahaha

I accidently did a skid today when testing how well my brakes worked on a carbon rim in the wet to get a feel for things before belting around at near 30 mph, nearly cried thinking about the rubber that had potentially been scuffed off my £50 a pop tubular tyre as it made a zipping noise along the tarmac.

I have lots of fun on my fixed gear bike, it hardly ever involves a skid, unless I'm doing an emergency stop (so I can get my weight back as far as possible to give maximum braking)

You are, in fact a seven-year-old, and ICMFP

Most people on here are closer to collecting their pensions than their years 'having irresponsible fun'.

Hold on, if I was a seven -year-old, I'd probably know what that stood for!
