    josh, i've heard that poor kid died afterwards. It originally circulated around facebook, and facebook permanently banned a few users for it.

    Its pretty horrendous. I dont think i've ever cringed from accidents like that before.

    missed it first time round I guess.

    I apologise for posting it and I did intend to write a warning but then completely forgot. I was also pretty tired when I posted it and perhaps let my judgment slip and I kinda assumed since it was shown that he had probably survived. I never meant to make light of something that was so horrific but am well aware I have put myself in pretty similar situations before (infact almost identical) it makes you remember we are all mortal and what seems like a bit of fun can end tragically.

    I have removed it.

    Interesting idea, and I bet it would be huge fun and everything, but why do the voiceovers for this kind of video have to make it out like: a) riding a fixed gear bike is like some Herculean feat only to be attempted by mega-gods, and b) that every bike ride has to be like, a spiritual journey, man.

    Are they hi-tec squash shoes? They're the best. They make you at one with the pavement.

    wow, hands up who knew that you could cover more ground on a bike compared to walking? that is a mind blowing revelation!!

    and as for that knob with the sore knee, get some fucking brakes if your gonna be cycling that far.

    Not trying to flog a dead cliche or anything, but see in videos like 'Junkun' above and some Fixed Gear London one I just watched, how come they're always like; 'People say you can't ride that track bike on the streets! That's for the track!..and I'm like, fuck you man!'.

    When do people ever, ever say that? How many times has anyone here ever been stopped by a passer-by saying, 'Hey man, that's not cool! Get thee to a velodrome!'

    All the time man, it happens at least once a day.
    And when i knock on the velodrome door they say unto me, come hither with your 60gear inches and ride on our pristine planks with your 47c street tyres.
    They then go on to compliment my choice of riser handlebar and bmx inspired componentary commenting on how sturdy my bike looks. They often tell me it'd be great for Keirin.

    One of my mates was out in Belfast a few weeks ago and met him. Bought him a couple of drinks too.
