I know, right? Presumably so that he can get round tiny velodromes quicker.
I just don't see how that could be fun to anyone unless they were enticed there by trendy music and free booze by a corporate sponsor. What awful, awful people. :P0 -
My thoughts: 'damn that looks narrow, and there aren't any buffers or anything... I reckon people are totally going to fall off th............ oh.'0

no, that's riding your bike. and may make you look/act like a tit.
going round in circles in a wok surrounded by a braying mob doused in ironic hair-dos and skinny jeans will undoubtedly make you look like a tit. put it on a proper track, it looks like they're trying to race around a sodding scalextric.0 -

Well both are clearly just a bit of fun, but only one requires corporate sponsorship to make happen :P0 -

Well someone's got to pay for that fancy demountable wooden track. That was one of the more interesting bits of the video. Could have done with being a bit bigger, but then that would limit where you could use it.1985 Mercian King of Mercia - work in progress (Hah! Who am I kidding?)

Interesting that the track design is different for the UK one - maybe the NZ one produced too many accidents.
I know it's just people having a laugh on bikes, which is to be applauded, but the use of the phrase 'fixed gear scene' rubs me up the wrong way!

That's just because you're not part of it :P
I can't understand why people get so worked up about hipsters - yes, they are faintly ridiculous, but then I've ridden my Dahon clown bike in full lycra, so who am I to talk.1985 Mercian King of Mercia - work in progress (Hah! Who am I kidding?)

yeah, but you're not doing that purely to look trendy and cool. unless you are. in which case I'm fairly sure you're a bit wide of the mark

Why does being a bit of a loser deny people the right to have fun on bikes? Alright, so their cardigans are a bit tight, and they spend too much at the hairdressers, but let's face it, a number of us have registered to race exercise bikes against hard-ass pros and other blokes in suits in the lobby of a city brokerage. Let 'em have fun, especially if that means a few blokes with no brakes (and not even clips or cleats to help with backpedalling, from what I've seen in Shoreditch and such places) are off the road at night.
