Light weight(No extra parts), less parts to fuck up while your riding or maintain, more exercise because your always peddling/never coasting as well as only one gear so your really going to have to work hard getting up those hills(not a lot of hills in Dallas which is good for fixed gear), and also riding a fixed gear makes you more conscious of road conditions, your speed, and just the over all feel of your bike due to basically no brakes and the continues motion of your pedals. Also there’s certain tricks that can be done that can’t be done with other bikes due to the fixed gear.

You wont see many kids riding these bikes, champ.

So the short and the long of it is that fixed gears are great for urban areas. Oh btw a lot of bikes for kids are fixed / single gear, hence my sarcastic quip

Single gear yes, fixed gear no (these are two different things BTW). Unless your referring to trikes which would be similar to fixed gear in that the peddles are always moving but because the peddles are attached to the wheel not a gear.

it needs a flame paint job on it

I'm going with option A for 200 Alex. Here is your last word card, use it sparingly.

You could compare a single gear bike to a cruiser. Problem with cruisers though is that they are heavier than most bikes and slow as Christmas and you can't keep up with the lighter bikes on group rides. So if speed and a workout during distance rides is what you are after, plus the advantage of pulling a few tricks on the street, a fixed gear like CLAWFUL's is the bike for you.

funny tweet from today: NotTinaFey - Oh you kids these days. I can't tell which one is a hipster and which one's a hobo. You're all wearing beards, plaid, and riding a bike.

Kevin Bacon would be proud to see this catching on.

Time to get over the hipster thing guys. Its been almost a fucking decade of it now. Dallas can't stay perpetual bubble boy forever.

You dudes are going to be complaining about jeans that fit when you're in retirement homes.

Fixed gear Bikes,
Pho,
non UFC related entertainment.

Just slap a fucking rebel flag on the back of your truck and give up on your wasted youth.
