I love that Claim vid. Shane McConkey is a total legend. Can't believe I was laughing and enjoying that very video about a week before he died. RIP.
...Need to start a **skiing **thread...but not yet as I'll just waste too much time on it and get pissed off that I can't ski properly again for about 6 months...

@ corny: there is also the issue of the duty of care between manufacturer and customer, as well as complicating factors like contributory negligence of the consumer or their voluntary assumption of the risk - i.e. they would have to prove they really knew nothing about fixed gear riding etc. and therefore required a warning.
I can't do it now but tomorrow I will have a good look into this. there will no doubt be plenty of comparable case law out there.

Practically, bike shops really should advise their customers properly, thats just common sense.
Legally its an interesting issue: could bike shops be held negligent for not adequately informing cyclists about the particular dangers associated with riding fixed without some form of foot retention? Does a duty of care exist between the bike shop / bike shop employee and the customer? Arguably yes, although this is just my opinion, but I'll hopefully look into this in more detail tomorrow.

Forgot to add my latest bike to this thread after sticking pics of it in Current Projects...RAL 5015, with metallic sparkle lacquer (future use of this colour has now been outlawed). Forks and handlebars rattle-canned in plastikote by yours truly. Click on the link for a bigger picture, sorry not the best image quality...

ah, sorry mate.
chelsea flower show is a bastard.
i am going to find another route, or take a tomahawk with me tomorrow.
I won't be at wests, i'm afraid.No worries - and yeah, the flower show fucks things right up, even worse in the evenings when taxis and vans decide to swing in without signalling. +1 on the tomahawk, or maybe thor's hammer?

^ Jealous. I'm going to go and play with my sob X-Session Pro sob to make me feel better...
And that Ean Golden one is awesome, he modified it with arcade buttons so he could beat juggle and scratch more effectively...surprised to see its now being rolled out as a retail option!
