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? |
