Thin bike tires
Aurjay:
i love my mountain bike, but want a fixed gear bike. I know they are illegal in a lot of places but i really dont care. We have whats called a midnight mass every Thursday where im from. Its all types of bike enthusiasts get together at midnight and ride en masse through downtown. Its a lot of fun but being on a mountain bike amongst the fixed wheeelers makes me kinda inadequate. I got a chance to ride a fixed wheel and loved it, so i think im gonna convert. Anyone else here ride one?
StaedlerMars:
Fixed gear bikes are stupid, unsafe, and really not that cool. Don't get one.

If you can't afford a car, a bike with pegs can take a girl to the movies.

Ooh, that sounds exciting, Nick. Oh! And I wouldn't be riding it anywhere scary. Just to the shops and round the park. Not in the city, eek.
My friend (Ally's friend) Albert has found a place that has sort of bike building workshops, a dude has a shed full of bikes and bike bits and people get together on Monday nights to sort of do a communal bike thing - some people provide parts, others stuff like grease and tyres... seems like a good way to start things!
Also I would kill for a lowrider brett and I can source overalls and slick back my hair no worries.
I think the bike is kind of like the ladies one in this photo:
I know it is heck of vintage and a peugeot and it is red and I have only seen it once in the dark but I remember it had sort of the two bar thing going on?

All that, and you also get to discover why they invented gears and brakes!
