We should probably devote some discussion to the 'Panama Papers' and their impact on fixie-skidding.

The newspapers concerned are publishing stories at a rate of knots right now and it's fairly impossible to keep up, but we shouldn't forget that Panama rubber was one of the main early sources of industrial rubber and many early bikes might not have been shod with rubber tyres had it not been for it, and, er, I'm sure you can see how that's relevant to this forum ... :)
