Was At Work Yesterday...........

[Richard A Thackeray]

..... And went on the Dyna-Tech for a change (sometimes I run there 5 days a week), & I saw these 2 in the rackings as I locked mine up;

One is a bit illegal (& possibly stupid??), with no brakes
The other is just stupid! (saw it been ridden off later, but I didn't recognise the staff-member on it)

2nd might be a fixed so rear becomes the brake.


1st is just stoopidity

Still needs a front brake doesn't it??, even if a fixed?
One of my collegues (of 30 years + 'fixed-gear'/club-cycling) has front & rear cantis on his Pompino fixed

1st is just stoopidity

Correct|!!!

The 'MTB' is probably how it was bought from the supermarket/store as company's like Tesco etc. are known to put forks on the wrong way round so they end up looking like a Manitou fork.

Fixed gear looks alright but I still don't condone to riding brakeless even if you have decent skill on a fixed.
