Anyone seen/going to this ?
Beer and fixies on cobbles sounds like a recipe for a few spills IMO

How many people in Sheffield actually have a fixie, apart from the trendy students who arrive every September?

I've always thought that - Fashion victim's bike, no good where there are proper hills etc
I was saying as much to Paul at recycles bikes in Heeley and he said there were quite a few and in fact he'd got one (blush)
He did quite a good job of persuading me to give it a go sometime (not that I have mind)

Just when I thought it might be fun to pop down for a pint and point and laugh at their lack of gears...
