Just curious, that is impressive however, what happens when you want to actually stop, not skid for ages?

@KrunchyJD if you keep the weight on the rear wheel, you will stop much faster. Moving the weight to the front wheel is what makes long skids possible.

@nilo2209 WRONG. a stick shoved in your front wheel stops you quicker. hehe!

@tommyogtigern yeah and a stick shoved down your throat stops your lame comments on youtube.

@KrunchyJD You can resist the motion of the pedals, which slows you down. Most fixed gear riders also have a brake(s).

@jesuriah fair enough. I ride a bike a lot, I have only ridden a fixie once, it was kind of wierd. I can see that it teaches you good habbits, eg (not to coast all the time). I have thought about making a fixie for myself. I dont want to crash though. LOL.
I like bikes in all shapes and sizes and flavours. I think the Danes, and the Dutch have it right, bikes are a great form of transport.
Keep on cycling!

@KrunchyJD Yeah, fixed gears definitely have a learning curve. It took me about 2 weeks doing 50 or so miles a week to get the hang of it, but since then I have come to truly enjoy riding fixed more than a freewheeled bike.
Big bumps are really scary on a fixed gear, but you learn to travel at a proper pace from these scares. I agree with what you say about the Scandinavians, a five mile trip on a bike is no sweat(well, on a fixie it's tougher, on a 3 speed no problem).

weeee! riding a fixed gear in the rain is so lame. dying is lame. posing is lame. running over pedestrians is lame. flat spots on tires is lame. neutering your bike is lame. assuming everyone thinks you are cool is lame. frying your knees is lame. the tricks are lame. saying that it is official is lame. cards in your spokes is very oh so lame. handle bars chopped to less than 14 inches is lame. no front brake: stupid and extremely lame. not giving a shit about anyone- lame to the very essence
