Fixed Gears...........

WHERE ARE YOUR BRAKES??!!

I really dont understand. yeah it looks good, and its fast. like really fast. hahaha kristen stewart.... "cause they're fast." anyway, i would very much appreciate it if someone could explain the intellignece of purposely removing brakes from a bicycle. if you want to ride fast, maybe you should invest in a car. you know? they go fast. and they can stop when it is necessary to. i get a hearty laugh out of watching tiny little boys on fixxies going so fast and then attempting to stop. theyre tiny asses get tossed, then they're all scraped up and crying. boo fucking hoo, get some damn brakes. i completely understand if it is your proffesion (like my friend Ferrer) but if your in an urban setting and riding like a bat out of hell on telegraph avenue.....your probably gonna get hurt. maybe think ahead a bit.

now on the other hand, it sounds like im hating super hard (kinda am) but i really do enjoy watching fixed gear riders that are good at it and have a real passion for it. i admire and appreciate the skill it takes to have that kind of control in such a volatile setting.
