Trackies? It's pretty stupid (and in most states, illegal) to ride without a front brake in traffic, even if you do ride a fixie (I don't--I have a touring bicycle that is just fast enough, just comfy enough, and just sturdy enough for my purposes). A lot of bad riding is bad education, reinforced by unchecked bullying and unenforced traffic regulations. And when I'm driving, I drive a '91 GMC Safari van, so I'm not really one to talk about "compactness" That said, I try not to drive at all, if I can possibly help it, and I'm pretty good about obeying signs where posted.... -Luigi
