Chris Akrigg riding unfixedChris Akrigg: unfixed and unhinged + video
You may well remember a while back when Chris Akrigg was showing us all how it's done on a cheap and cheerful Mongoose fixer. Well he's still got the bike but having swapped the fixed for a freewheel and neglecting to re-install the brakes, he thought he'd take it our for a rant around the rocks and the woods. And the vid below is the result.
Okay it's not exactly road riding, and we wouldn't advocate any mortals attempting to ride a brakeless singlespeed in the woods without protective gear; even Akrigg takes a beating doing that. But it's interesting to see what a normal bike is capable of in the hands of a very talented rider. This is the stock Maurice that you can have over at Evans right now for £260. It's not always about having the best equipment. Skill and cojones will take you a long way...

I'd missed that - thanks....
I'm split on this. On the one hand, if an area is truly 'pedestrianised', then it feels sensible for vehicles of all types to be banned, do that...
Wales is basically a one party state. Roll on the revolution.
Very cruel . . . but also very funny!
In Lancashire, even the MOT testing garages(link is external) can't afford MOTs! Saw it again this morning- still no MOT since 9th February
The simple truth is that what's good for you may not be good for me. I've always found Lusso's shorts to be terrific but the most comfortable by...
(for 2023 versions of value)...Exactly! When I first read the review last night I thought "that's good value", then gave myself a good slap.
He adds nothing to the debate....
Murica, f*** yeah! Why isn't this at all surprising? I guess the surprise is they didn't shoot him.
Sounds like the council's drivers / maintenance contractors - and their street designers - aren't fit for purpose......
