Singlespeed & Fixed Gear "I still feel that variable gears are only for people over forty-five. Isn't it better to triumph by the strength of your muscles than by the artifice of a derailer? We are getting soft...As for me, give me a fixed gear!"-- Henri Desgrange (31 January 1865 - 16 August 1940)

In theory, it keeps the handlebars from dinging the top tube if they somehow manage to swing around that far

Extra cool points if the tercel's a 4WD wagon.

I feel like if you're biking and that happens, you have bigger things to worry about...

It isn't for while you are riding. It is for while you are carrying your bike over your shoulder or locking it up on a street sign or tricking without raising your bars up.

My Fuji Del Rey conversion. Looking into a track frame, but having trouble deciding on a color scheme. I'm thinking black on black on black on black on black.

For those of us that have softer aluminum bikes, there's nothing wrong with a little extra padding in case of an accident. It's not hard at all to imagine falling off your bike for some reason and getting your frame ruined by a TT dent.

If you live in a tiny apartment with small doorways and narrow, long staircases with doors you lock with a key, you will learn quickly that your bars will swing that far.

I don't see how they could possibly be too heavy.
