Cutter!

That's awesome. To make it really interesting, they should require all the participants to wear jeans and have no chain guards on the bikes. Then, in order to take home the prize after winning the race, you have to do a wheelie for 100 feet, then, using homemade ramps, jump over three friends who are lying down between them.
Ah, the good old days of messing around on a bike.

"but the event is all about fixed-gear bicycles with coaster brakes"
One or the other, folks. Fixies have no brakes but your legs. Coasters are on single speed bikes with one way clutches.

drstrangegun -- thanks for the clarification!

When you say "cutter" do you mean a depressed person who cuts themselves because "the pain is the only thing that's real" ?
Are "cutter" and "frat-boy" bike racing terms?

Hoag -- reference to the movie "Breaking Away," which centered on the Little 500 race.
why not the LS2LS7? @ Apr 3rd 2008 10:46PM
My neighbor had that bike when I was young, except in blue. I wanted one like it so badly.
banana seat+monkey bars+shifter stick = desire
