"Fixie": It's Denmark's fault - London Fixed-gear and Single-speed

The Danes cycle those traditional bikes with the back pedal break where you hit back then hit harder. When I was in Copenhagen recently I saw one proper fixed wheel bike so they can be pushed off top spot on a technicality. If we work our way through the rest of the nations we can be number one in no time.

Last time I was in copenhagen, about 2 months ago, I saw loads of fixed wheel bikes. Right in the city center, there was some kind of demonstration going on and they were all gathered around that. Copenhagen in general has so many cyclists. It's great, and the red lights show timers so you know if you have to slow down or if the light is just 4 secs away from turning green. Amazing.

Poland has now been overtaken.

I think next year will be a either a good year for births in Pakistan, or a record year for divorce.

Thats only if you are walking....

But yeah, fixed gear is going strong in Copenhagen... I guess the reason "fixie" is a popular word in Denmark compared to the rest of the world is fixie-king.dk (started by a messenger).

Messengers have always called the best boy/girl fixed gear riders at the championships fixie king and queen.
