  • retarded. track bikes are meant to be raced, not posed with. stupid hipster fags.

  • @johnnytuups Better call the whaaaambulance!!

  • shouldn't beach cruisers with no hand brakes be the savior of "brakeless" fixies? i mean, a coaster brake is still a completely chain-dependent braking method...

  • Good point

  • I think you meant fucktard, dipstick.

  • 0:51 wtf is he doing 

  • you think they would take this a little more seriously, then what they did.. the 2 police (whatever they where) probably thought they where a bunch of dumb shits

  • how is this safer than using your legs? it worked effictivly maybe like 5 times

  • @Drucifer24 those ones looked nice actually, not giving tickets for no breaks etc... seems damn nice to me!
