hmmm...yeah they do love to make rules , everything on its place. maybe they will make a special kind of fixie velodrome / park....

skateboarding on the streets is also illegal , the side walk is for pedestrians to walk, the bike lane is for bicicles, the street is for cars...
huh... no place for skateboards , ban them from the streets and build them parks where they can go .. that's how it operates.....- pretty much. They do have some nice skateparks thereflashbender
- yeah nice skatepark but you may get fined by the police if they catch you on the street just riding on your boardbekannt

It's fucking dangerous to go riding on these deathcycles where I live. You'll run over something or get run over by something immediately. Heck no, these fixed gear contraptions belong on a velodrome. Wherever there still is one.

Is it only limited to bikes without brakes? if it is then that article is a load of COCK and really badly written.
- exactly!! they hardly mention the lack of brakesProjectile

Fucking hipster cunts, the bikes are ugly as shit and don't even ride well.

That is bollocks, they are great fun to ride. Its the day-glo paint jobs and pointles, cheap velo plastic wheels that are stupid.

Makes sense that any bike on the street should legally have brakes. Not really sure how you can dispute that.

when i got my fixie i took a test spin around the block and went in the shop and had them put breaks on it and to make it have a free spinning wheel...
so i guess i have a regular bike...
- you're still cool, ed :)DrBombay

couriers piss me off. They're so fukken arrogant, and they piss the motorists off no end, to the point where they hate ALL cyclists.
I go through red lights.. but slowly, when it's safe. With respect, basically. But then I get tarred with the same brush as these wankers who blast through heavy traffic all the time just cos they don't have gears!

fixed gear got me into serious bike riding and ultimately lead to the selling of my car. i think its really arrogant to think banning a certain type of bike is good, because it ultimately leads to more cars and less bikes, even if it is a trend.

bikes without brakes is just pure idiocy.
