    MLP,

    i'm not condemning riding track bikes. for some bike enthusiasts, it is their thing - it's in their blood.

    my friends who ride fixed gears ride them because they love the feel of it. and despite numeroud injuries, they still go back to their brake-less bike that they love.

    my concern here, however, is the image track bike recently is delivering. all the bike messangers ride them, all these bike freaks ride them - and those new to riding bikes think "that's the way to become cool".

    it's like following a fashion trend for them, except that they're really not aware of the fact that there's a danger and serious amount of knowledge of biking associated with riding track bikes.

    having iPod won't get you break your bone - but track bikes will.
