Hyper-hip even. Im just lame. None taken.

is "fixing" a bike the new hip thing to do or something??? it seems really just lame to me. no offense.

Nope, no coasting. Your rear wheel is chained directly to the crank sprocket(pedals). If the rear wheel moves, so do your pedals. I just go down hills kinda slow till I reach a point when I know I can keep up.

But can you coast? Or if, say, you go down a hill and start going fast, does it make your legs spin a million rpm? And I posted a video, just for you. :)

KeithT - 07/28/10 15:03
When Im going slow enough I use that method to brake. Though I have a front brake just incase I need a lil bit more.

jenks - 07/28/10 14:50
Can you freewheel? That (i.e. braking) is what scares me the most about fixies.

KeithT - 07/28/10 14:33
@tiny :Hehe thanks lil lady! Ill try my best to post a bit more. I always have trouble finding topics to post about though.

@lib: I asked on my other post if you ever tried fixed before I seen this one. Ive had 10 and 18 speed bikes but I always end up wrecking the gear shifter. I ride bikes into the ground or until they're clicking everytime you touch the pedals. Though this was all before I bought a car at 18 lol!
For me fixed is a better ride because there's nothing else to worry about except where you're going, and pedaling. Its not hard for me to get up and over the man bridge in delaware park near David. I dont understand enough about gear ratio to really go indepth. Its a crazy work out though. You should come with Terry and I the next time we go for a ride.

There is something so vibrant about your photos and you always have clouds in them. The colour just pops out. More. More. More!

I tried looking at Rick's but the ones that they had in my size were super heavy. I'm curious as to why you would convert to fixed gear? I never rode one but isn't it nice to have the gears for hills and stuff?

KeithT - 07/27/10 09:20
It kills you. No other way to put it.

jenks - 07/27/10 08:05
Nice! I'm too chicken to ride a fixie.

KeithT - 07/16/10 12:21
Jeeeeeeez! Thanks for "reading" my post, it says it's you up top lol :P

We were talking about this last night and I looked it up this morning. I had seen it before. I just didn't realize that was me, lol.

metalpeter - 07/11/10 10:38
sounds fun

KeithT - 07/09/10 18:47
The only sock monkey I want in this world are the ones with button eyes. Anything else is fucking blasphemy!




I couldnt take a pic of me burning it because I had to run from the store :l

paul - 07/09/10 17:43
It's like a down syndrome version of the sock monkey.

jenks - 07/05/10 20:05
and it says "the original". BOOO! "the original" is the one my mom made, whose tail my sister later ripped off, and I cried.
