I went biking the other night on my friend's mom's crazy road bike. So fast and light, but now my ass hurts because of the "high performance" seat.

I don't understand those seats i think they are a female seat or something because they are not designed for people with balls and a dick

when is everyone going to be over this fixed gear fad?

Well the first bikes were fixed and people are still riding them, so it might be awhile. I'll admit that alot of fixie dudes are fucking lame and are pretentious fucks who have a hard on for their bike and will spend any amount of money to too stroke their ego, but the bikes themselves are so much fun to ride and a good workout too.

Someone explain to me how you ride a bike with no brakes, especially in the city.

The crank is the brake, you use your legs to stop the motion of the crank. Also you can do skid stops and a lot of people ride front brakes just in case (in Portland it is a crime not to have a front brake on a fixed gear).

I have some "Roadmaster" bike which is garbage. I got it from Wal-Mart in like eighth-grade. I'm surprised is still works. But, I haven't ridden it for over two years. I'm thinking about getting a BMX bike but then I think that I would feel like a douche.

Black IRO Mark V commuter (fixed). Of course with a front brake, no riding suicide and destroying my knees resisting all the time. These people riding fixed gears with out brakes are asking for knee surgery or injury and possibly death.

That would be tight. Honestly, I thought about a skateboard lane, but that would be stupid. But, the only reason I thought about it was because I was skateboarding on the sidewalk, on the way to the park, and this cop hits me with his baton and I got, and still have the biggest scrape on my ass.

My new whip:

Converted to single speed. Got it for free from my wife's best friend, it had been sitting around collecting dust. I am going to change out the seat some time soon, I took it on a nice ride yesterday and look forward to riding it a lot once the rain lets up and the weather gets better.

My daily commuter, though lately I have been skating to work. Single speed (not fixie) trek soho. This is when I first got it, the bell is no longer on.

Edit: Should work now.

i picked up the same bike for my homey.
he gave it to his girl as a christmas gift.
i was so impressed with it that it wanted one myself.
how do you like yours?
the flat black color is so ill.

I really like it. Its super light, seat is comfortable, the riding position works really well for me and stock gearing is great too. Down side is the day after bringing it back from the shop the chain poped off while I was hauling ass down the street. I ended up falling off and got so pissed I threw the bike at least 20 feet. Bent the rear wheel and it hasn't ridden the same since. So it is good that it is light for carrying up stairs, and its bad that it is a. easily throwable b. it is not a skateboard.

Oh and the stock peddles were shit, broke one after maybe 2 weeks of riding. And got some platform pedals from japan or some shit? Fuck if I know shit about bikes.

Which Soho did you get, the "S"? And what color? Pics?

Heres a crappy cell phone pic of my bike.

Its a 1966 (or '65 ?) Schwinn Varsity 10 speed. I found it in the garbage and for $150 bucks its now fully operational.

Im gonna take my time and try to fix it up some more, hopefully paint it someday too.

Having a bike is so nice. Easy transportation.

i enjoy taking my schwinn oldies to the park to ride laps, and smoke stoagies.

so nice, i can't believe that nearly all new raleighs have a brooks saddle as stock. the 2008 raleigh one way remains my dream bike.

I have a BMX that's a few years old. At home, it's hard to find a destination too far to skate/walk, but too close to drive. I may bring my bike to uni next year when I'm living off-campus. They're somewhat enjoyable to ride, but my BMX isn't very comfortable. I also have a hard time just riding slowly, so I'll always end up all sweaty from riding so fast when I really didn't need to.

jrock · « **Reply #145 on:** February 11, 2009, 06:57:23 PM »

i swore i wouldn't get all into my bike, but i've been nerding out pretty hard on it lately.

i cut the bars, changed the cranks and pedals, took off the back brake, and (gasp) flipped the back wheel to the fixed gear side. I even learned the gay little skid the other day. I'm ashamed of myself.

What's the point of those curly handle bars? I never know how I'm supposed to hold those things.

i used to have that same bike, same color and everything. i traded it for a snowboard.

max power · « **Reply #149 on:** February 12, 2009, 07:34:12 AM »

these are mine. the mountain bike needs a new rear hub because once the temperature drops below 32 the grease gets too thick and the mechanism doesn't engage. this led to some bad shit before i figured out what was actually happening.
