Wow, minimalist! Maybe he is trying to make his bike lighter, by removing the toeclips and straps? ;)

douchebag. we're just amazed that you think its sensible to ride without any sort of connection to your pedals- which as you ride no brakes are your only stopping force. therefore you have minimal to 0 clue.
and for your first fix?
you must be the cockyest shit around london.

I'm super! Thanks for asking!!
awww... don't be like that SK. Just follow the crowd and adjust your bicycle accordingly. the criticism is because you would almost certainly enjoy riding your bike better if it was set-up conventionally. horizontal saddle + some foot-pedal attachment.

dude, you put your bike on fgg, doing that lays you open to a certain amount of comment/debate, if you like your bike, ride it and don't worry what we think, but don't come on here and have a dig, because people don't like what you've made, you are the one who put it into the public domain, so you have to take the stick if or when it comes. It just so happens that the digs have been a bit fiercer because you were picked by BSNYC, take it as a positive, revel in the fact that you are one of the fortunate few to be placed on his blog and ridiculed, wear it like a badge of honour. This forum is about discussion, debate, and learning, and also about being juvenile and taking the piss out of our bikes and other peoples, about puerile injokes, about being a compendium of really useful fixed gear information which can save you a lot of time and trouble, but most of all this forum is about getting on your bike and riding just because you can.
Ride your bike sk, ride your bike, and be safe while you're doing it.
