»In which I pack it up

... I should point out that this video is the reason I am rocking out to De Stijl and speeding 'round town on a fixie. For crying out loud. During a weekend bike-ride not one but two pedestrians pointed out that we cyclists stopped for traffic controls. The second, along the Great Highway, actually crossed the street, came back to the intersection shaking his head, and said, "I don't think I've ever seen a bicycle stop at a red light."
Rdiing a track bike does entail a full-speed-ahead mentality (see video, above). I ride a fixed-gear, which has some old-man sense built into it.
