BÖIKZMÖIND - A Fixed Gear Bike is...

I don´t know what you think about all these fixed-gear documentaries out there. And i don´t mean films in which people are actually riding their bikes i still enjoy watching these - i mean films in which people are talking about riding fixed-gears. I am so bored of them - it´s like i already heard every word, every sentence of the people in these films. Yeah, we know what a fixed-gear is and there are a lot of wrong and right myths about it. Yes there are laws that sometimes make it difficult riding a fixie. Yes there are people out not giving a shitpile of commitment to the subject of riding a fixed-gear and therefore aren´t able to handle their bikes properly. But how often do we need to hear that? It´s been several years since the first fixed related films came out and repeating the same phrases haven´t helped so far. Today i found this british fixed-gear documentary. I don´t know how this is like but according to it´s trailer there isn´t much new to expect.
We all love our fixies - more ridin´ - less talkin´!
