Really?

Submitted by GhostRider666 on 01/22/2008.

Why, thank you! I've taken some abuse for how the bike looks, but my son and I love it (it IS a bit garish, but that's OK -- cars see us this way).

Give it to 'em

Nice ride. Effective, and the kids would love it.

And its entirely right that you get stuck into the halfwits on BSNYC who fail to understand that single speed and a fixed gear are NOT THE SAME THING, and the tensioner is doing a job.

Roll your own way man!

Halfwits, indeed!

Thanks for the positives...the many negative comments on BSNYC were all in good fun! Still, it's amazing how many dumbasses are out there...they have no business being on bicycles if they don't know the difference between SS and fixed gear!!!
