I haven't ridden a bicycle in probably 6 years, ftl.

I'm going to go buy a bmx bike this weekend and put a baseball card/clothes pin motor on it.

fixed gear? the kind that when you pedal backwards, they stop right away? i havent rode one of them in at least 10 years, as for variable gear bikes, its probably been around 4 or 5 years.

naw a fixed gear has NO BRAKES and NO FREEWHEEL

you can't "coast" on em. so if the wheels move forward, so do the pedals. and if the wheel moves backwards, so do the pedals. they are the funnest thing ever. i just got one

Haha! Now I want to try one. How do you stop? Do you just have to muscle it backward with your legs, or does that make the chain slip and send you flying off into oblivion?

bikes for the win...

i've been riding bikes for years... but it's been a long time since I rode a fixed gear.

literally, last time I rode one, I was like 9 or something.

So just like a normal bike, but minus a few features?

Nah, I really do enjoy it. I have to toss out the occasional marriage related joke for shitz n gigglz, but I wouldn't trade it. I got two beautiful stepdaughters with the deal, and they're my world. I will say this, though: I would not have been ready for marriage until my mid 20s. Anything before that would have been a huge disaster.

I only rode a fixed gear bike on a race track.

I would never consider riding one on the road I would be too scared to kill myself.
