Fixies in the Christian Science Monitor

Not that anyone still reads this weblog for cycling material, I imagine, since it's so infrequent in coming, but in any case I enjoyed, if smirkingly, the CSM's coverage of the newest trend in cycling (I can't even sneer, since I came in to fixed-gear cycling somewhere in the beginning or middle of the trend cycle that is currently exploding). Anyway, it's an interesting article, although as someone on a mailing list I'm part of noted, it omits entirely to acknowledge the brake vs. no brake schism in the community.
