Why so much hate of fixed gear bikes /fixed gear riders?
Granted maraming riders jempoy. But it's not the bike. It's not even ALL fixed gear riders. But some.
Kahit sinabi na ng mga riders na safe sila mag ride. Or may preno sila. Or they know how to stop their bikes safely.
For context I ride different bikes. I have a fixed gear with me for more than ten years. I have mtb geared and folding ones. Single speed and multi... Also have an ebike. Actually I have many bikes. I just love 2-wheeled vehicles.
So why the hate? Can't we just ride our own preferred bikes for whatever purpose (race, commute, rando, exercise et al) and enjoy biking?
Parang mas dini-discourage natin mga tao mag bike. Instead of guiding the new ones properly.
***reaction post to dun sa isang bata/estidyante na gusto mag build ng fixed gear for daily nya. Tapos marami nagsabi wag sya mag fixed kahit sabi nya na limited budget sya and gusto nya very low maintenance bike.
