Don't ask, I DO NOT have brakes.

[dannyloyal9]

@keklolgloat Just go ride your bike like everyone else. Judgment is for the insecure.

[327yellow]

you do have brakes it's called a stop skid, most fixie posers can't do it though

[gasmonkey1234]

hey i think he's got brakes....

[MrAldoRamon]

love the song ha

[beyondreamtime]

i like your vedeo.. i will do one myseft . iam a chef i ride to work everyday. its so good to have a roll on you track bike in the city at nite when there is less cars . i like track bike too .. but i don;t like how ppls skid to stop . iam more like a crussing ride that will not wast any stamina for my ride , stop skiding wasted alot energy , try to slow down with your momemtom .

[ifwere1021]

Lots of haters on this video. I thought it was cool, fixies are scary as hell in the real world. Are you still riding it?

[laughingtiger123]

I call them... DARWIN BIKES ... they thin out the herd, eventually. I've seen some really cool crashes in Long Beach, CA Nest thing ever, as they improve the gene pool. Get rid of some of society's dim-wits. No brakes = broken bones and teeth. Love it.

[avenew187]

listen up spielberg.....next to you film your dumb ass riding....try srapping the camera to the frame you dizzy fucker

[keklolgloat]

Yea... typical commuter on a fixed gear pretending to be a courier.

You missed a curb jump @ 3:38 to continue instead sitting idle and I was so unimpressed at that point I stopped the video.

Your average speed was a measley 25 km/h, try averaging 35-40 and blowing through lights. Watch the video "Bike Messengers are on Crack" for a far Far FAR superior fixed gear inner-city riding video.

Sorry, but you have to be a BIKE MESSENGER to RIDE like a messenger.

[roccomala]

@keklolgloat @keklolgloat I'm not pretending to be a courirer but I'm a cyclist. I did this video years ago when I was rookie with track bike... I did this: stuttgart-barcelona in 10 days with a fixie and milan-figueras in 8 days...

Please don't judge people you don't know..

[ratm239]

@keklolgloat can you pm a link to one of these videos im interested.

[ratm239]

@keklolgloat nevermind jackass I found some

[SteVeYG215]

@keklolgloat Your a fucking tool dude like who are you to be telling people what they should adverage lol like your some random creep over the internet. Who would listen to you honestly? You prob aren't a messenger either. I live in philly and work for heaven sent and i respect anyone on any bike.

[SteVeYG215]

@keklolgloat Telling people to blow through lights go watch more bike videos and pretend you ride or know what your talking about.

[MREPS412]

@keklolgloat You went mad hard. Lol

[ICanDoBikey]

@keklolgloat Yeah stop being a douche. If you are a bike messenger (i don't know are you are ot not), nobody cares. That's not something you can shove in someones face. You're just like the typical anti-hipster dickheads that have such low self-esteem that they need to put other people down just to make themselves feel good.

[boomkingg]

@keklolgloat Just wanted to add 15mph-25 i the city is a good speed to ride at in the city because in a flat city reaching 30 on track you gunna get hit on day and that aint too good

[zappingoreo]

dont shit your self or others you have brakes.

[jimmyriba]

Why the fuck don't you have brakes? That's just plain stupid.

[scmalex619]

@jimmyriba

cause its a track bike... you can stop it without using brakes since the drivetrain is fixed and cannot coast.

its illegal at most tracks to ride with a brake, so in tradition many street riders elect to ride brakeless... its fun.

[livvidd]

I live for sideswiping these fuckers right off the road. Their pained bleating of outrage is so worth the minor scratches.

[keklolgloat]

@livvidd I hope someone beats the shit out of you for that one day. I sure would, kryptonite is a multi-tool in my books.

[glozick]

when ithe camera shakes he is out of saddle

[evali09]

! so irresponsable...it is sad:( like you just wait to injure yourself or other? Sounds great(!?)

[brandyneberly]

your camera sucks ass

[luongdung]

I love riding through traffics like this with my fixie. Cheers!

[bebeDesigner]

btw Rome isnt good for riding. there are too many cars :S i had a try when i was on a trip.

[bugs9410]

nice dude i run a 48/16 also its perfect for speed and its not hard to pedal

[pancakebot]

if you dont ride brakes, then why is there a brake sound at 0:23?

[SorafinalformXII]

@pancakebot I think thats a car or he is skid stopping

[MAL2GOOD]

Looks like Brussels, Belgium

amirite?

[austinton2]

Maybe you should get yourself some brakes. It'd probably be faster than making stupid evasive maneuvers onto the sidewalk every minute because you skid-stop about as well as you ride in a straight line.

[perianselmo]

are you crazy..

[hendrixphish420]

where was this filmed? it looks nice

[HeadMan12345]

bike messengers do this everyday while carrying things...

[fukshittubesucks]

Traffic is such a stand still in NY A bike is a very reasonable way to get around.

Not only is this video scary, it is also impressive.

I could assume the adrenaline rush during the ride and after every intersection and tight lane between car mirrors is at major highs. I would love to give it a try.

[540000Degrees]

@fukshittubesucks

i had an asshole open his car door while i was on a tight lane like that. and even if i did ride with brakes, it probably wouldnt have made a difference, so you gotta be careful brakeless or not.

[Theochineh]

if you're not already, you should be a courier

[changolist1]

this video makes me want to throw up!

[johnnyXsniper]

i dont get all this look no brakes shit with fixies, u still have a method of stopping, try ridin brakeless on a bmx, that really is exciting

[keyz510]

Fuck haiti

[lucajandu]

im a cyclist, you know how fucking annoying it is when a car cuts you up and pulls out well aggressively in front of you. whats with your behaviour at 2.50?

your gonna get yourself killed bro

[lucajandu]

and that car pulling out in front of you at 8.10 was your fault man

[MWF2GEEK]

That's part of the danger i guess. But the fixie thing is nothing more than a trend. Most of these people will put the bike down once they grow tired of it or when the fixie trend isn't in anymore. A true cyclists is going ride any kind of bike any time. A bike is a bike and doesn't make any difference.

[nilo2209]

Consider me a false cyclist then. How come the fixie trend ain't dead yet? It's been a "trend" for how many years now? The fixie shop where I live keeps selling fixies and I keep seeing them everywhere...

[subsidinblu]

excellent usage of free traffic space. :)

[takemyrocketship]

good handles

[MWF2GEEK]

Part of the experience of riding these kinds of bikes is not to use brakes. Instead you rely on skills to stop the bike. But i do agree in at least one brake either on the front or back. It just for quick stops. You never know when you have to do it and your in a tight situation.

[lucajandu]

sheldon brown agrees!

[EasyTerror]

@MWF2GEEK yep! one back bake for me.

[pontifex253]

@MWF2GEEK

I ride fixed gear daily to work, and for fun in weekends. I started out with a front brake for tight situations and used it a few times. But the more I got used to utilizing the fixed gear's unique stopping methods, the less I grabbed the brakes. After a while I noticed that even when being suddenly cut off, the reflex to pull the brake lever just wasn't there anymore. When I bought a track frame without brake holes, I just left them off as I hadn't touched the lever in months.

[pontifex253]

@MWF2GEEK

And don't get me wrong, I don't ride like and idiot and love life more than being a cool guy. I've also passed the age where I need to show off. It's just that when you're really used to a fixed gear bike, the break doesn't make sense anymore. A bad trend nowadays is that even people not comfortable on the bike yet, already ride brakeless. And yes, that's dangerous.

[FutureArchitect1]

whats the last song?

[VivaMicah]

You ride like you're blind drunk

[alfamonk]

harsh man, who knows where the camera was..

[DavidCross]

@VivaMicah Yeah get some handling skills dude. I'll bet that motorpacing was fun though.

[littlephoenix1115]

just cause you can't stop on a fixie doesen't mean he can't

[meinshnake]

No need for brakes on these bikes... maybe a front brake if your new but other than that no need

[rockingbmxer]

u got ny brakes?

[dinosaursanwich]

Hey I gotta ask. Do you have brakes?

[CarcinogenicRaccoon]

this dude is just asking to get doored... get a damn brake and stop bein a fixie fag

[cragot]

perchè cazzo ondeggi così?

[yoid9]

learn to write english moron.

[eh69557]

Kudos

[yoid9]

Why you dont use brakes? Is it trendy?

[babyshawnkemp]

think hes riding a fixed gear bike ? so no breaks

[imnotaballer]

do u kno wat a fixed gear bike is?

[Twincam2414]

Its called a Fixie... Only way you can slow down is to either use your feet (slow down in pedalling) or put your feet down (although both are not really that effective...)

When doing this job you don't plan on braking. Time is money, risks are taken non stop.

[ripousse]

@yoid9

a mix of that and the fact that thiefs have less of a chance to f_off with your bike if its brakeless..

But I personnally find it stupid... Its dangerous for the people around..

[beanguitar285]

it'S in italy or?

[sqeeeult]

Yeah Milan is in Italy!!!

[streetcrawler]

Nice video. I like the M83 in the background. :)

[pedalling007]

i got 52t x18t total 78''

[lyzardecho9]

i want to ride in milan now. 8-)

[chamorroskater]

That wuld be tight ta ride thru towns nd shit wif a fixie chayeauuh!

[dielikehemingway]

This is amazing.

[dicko6ft7]

just say u lost em

[shoothermcgavin]

hey man nice vid

got love track bike's

some people just dont get it

dont think they have ever heard about fixi befor

=D hit me up some time im up for a chat

[gscadwalader]

fast. how many gear inches you runnin?

[roccomala]

48/16

[Discodeathopera]

actually, i would strongly advise against that ratio, especially if you're riding brakeless, as there is only one skid patch

[dicko6ft7]

problem = solution

rotate wheel

[rustypirat3]

having 47t chainring is a good place to start as its a prime number so you have the same number of skid patches as your cog has teeth

[dicko6ft7]

i was only sayin that cos thats wot i do cos i run a 48 16 but am changin to 42 17 its just a way insted of spendin money

[CyclingMikey]

@roccomala Anyone can learn to brute force a big gear like that, but it takes skill to spin a small gear, especially on downhills.

[dafishmode]

@roccomala 48 is beast, i that bike whips

[KILLERPOLECAT]

1 skid spot! ;o

[zestCC]

does anyone know if that guys has brakes??

[roccomala]

Ok ok... my bad ;D

[zestCC]

[LEMONSLOL]
