Yeh, I haven't ridden fixed very much...I'm waiting for someone to show me all the ropes and secrets. But if I was riding consistently, I'd still want a brake. I'm too chicken for any of that riding no brake, a big gulp in one hand and texting in the other crap
Oh la la! I would be excited too. I know I was dying waiting for my bike, then I found out they'd lost my order. So that whole time I'd been waiting it hadn't even been started....sheer

ahhh....the pressure! How about I broke my collarbone while wrestling with a national guardsman and now my collarbone is all kinds of goofy? or....ah shit I'm tired and am having a hard time being creative. I respond better to direct questions ;o) and hey, why does that have to be one sided? Why don't you tell ME something cool.
The US Government is encouraging people to eat Louisiana swamp rats. Is that cool enough?

Not born, spent Jr. High and some of high school in NorCal, then my college was in Socal. All in all, Chicago is better, though a bit colder! It took some getting used to!
the weather only really sucks half of the time. However, too spread out?! I think that's a plus. It allows for the growth of these little unique communities that really diversify the city (like Pilsen!). Plus it's pretty flat, so riding around town isn't difficult, just lengthy. In a rural/urban neighborhood, you wouldn't be able to find more than 3 cool spots within 10 miles - I think we have it pretty good here...

I could be riding fixed, but yes...it would still have brakes.
