I see no reason to use the word dumb and turn the guy into my enemy. We have gumwalls, tread vs slick and bar grips for that.

Riding in cotton is kind of edgy, no?

I do agree that riding fixed without foot retention is dumb. I am glad to report my color coordinated pedal straps are arriving tomorrow.
