Fixed Gears, Fun?
I've seen and heard a lot of content-free snark about fixed-gear bikes lately, as in this recent NY Times Style article, but I've never successfully gotten anybody to explain to me why they are fun to ride? For the record, if you are interested, one Mr. Sheldon Brown makes a pretty compelling case and the Wikipedia has a characteristically objective take. This makes me want to try one out. Although I must say , as a novice city bike rider who huffs and puffs his way up the gentle slope to Prospect Park, I enjoy coasting. Coasting is fun.

Keep coasting through life, white bread! Why don't you find some group of oppressed peoples and go oppress them some more?? I've got your content-free snark right here, son!!
After 500+ years of oppressin' and eradicatin', I feel like my people have earned a break.
Your attitude is ridiculous, preposterous, and outrageous!
