Coasting is for poseurs. Fixed-gear bikes are about the pedaling
"The fixed-gear bike, or 'fixie' as it's called in some circles, has been around a long time, some people will tell you. (Some of these people are bike messengers who grump about how the media always tries too hard to look for the latest 'trend.')But the bikes are clearly becoming more mainstream, even among that group of urban bike rider who has never been to or even knows or could care less about an alleycat race (ask a bike messenger)."
A tip of the hat to newsvine's transparent opal for this story.
