While...It is nice to make it into this famous blog. While I am most grateful for the buzz generated by the Times article, the bike snob is correct in his assessment that we actually do repair and sell single-speeds and will surely repair and sell fixed gear bicycles. All of this comes with as much information as the client will allow us to share with them. And we are always open to listen to a client as they can, and do, share important data and new information with us every day. The most common safety concern we have is the factory installed fixed cog that has NO GREASE on the threads. This is textbook industrial skimping that should be ended. If all of the energy generated by stopping your bicycle dozens to hundreds of times daily is focused through the cranks, chainring, chainwheel screwpegs, chain, cog & lockring, 7 to 10 aluminum threads on the hub and spokes and tires, instead of being diffused through two rims and tires;(still with me?) then the weakest link is in those under-engineered thin threads on the hub. This (along with all the other links in this chain) must be protected as surely as you would protect your life or family jewels.<br />I want to highlight that my views of riding fixed gear bicycles come from 30 years in the saddle, 15 of which were in NYC. I have personally witnessed 3 people killed by cabs and a bus. The fixed rider I knew who I saw killed in 1989 on 34th and Ave of the Americas died because he was being a daredevil, and ate the light and a cab blocked him from getting by the bus. He was impaled by his saddle. I have heard of people in crashes in track peletons losing fingers to the chain, as well as mechanics who were more experienced than I losing fingers to spinning track chainwheels. The dirty chain oil prevents surgeons from re-attaching severed fingers. Almost like handling fire arms, this type of activity should be well-thought-out. As a young messenger, I idolized Nelson Vails and the old messengers who knew him told me he rode a track bike with a brake on the front wheel. [Mr.Vails can be credited with re-popularizing the single-speed and fixed gear bike as the standard issue of New York bike messengers.]<br /><br />I am not the strong-ish rider I once was, but most gifted young fixed riders cannot stay with me and my 33 lb commuter bike in heavy manhattan traffic because they do not have the stopping ability necissary to navigate the deadly maze. <br />NEVERTHELESS, I applaud anyone on a bicycle from the lady on the tricycle hauling her children around in the back, to the person who has no money and rides the huffy she found in the garbage the wrong way up the Tomkins bike lane to the hip hoopty rider, to the keirin rider to the trick track riders, bmx, freestyle, mountain, trials riders, to the club riders blazing up the palisades. <br />All cyclists are miles ahead of the lemmings in cabs, the psychos in trucks and the cowards in SUVs. Our shop seeks to cater to cyclists.Lit Fuse Cycleryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06022897383764614752noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4213956784784062266.post-32870412287425335192009-12-30T18:52:10.302-05:002009-12-30T18:52:10.302-05:00this was going to be an impossible podium today.
