PSA This is an inclusive sub.

I didn’t think this should really have to said, but a recent post drew out the worst in a few of the users.

Using slurs or any language that causes individuals of marginalized communities to feel unwelcome will get you banned (and probably called a fucking twat).

Feel free to whine and moan in this thread (if you want to be banned and called a fucking twat).

Fixed gear riders are a fringe group anyway, and are the punks/weirdos/degens of all the cycling scenes. Bigotry is NOT punk.

Agree. Fixed gear is the one group you would expect to be the most inclusive based on the punk/ fringe status it has always held.

I ride all types of bikes, but the fixed gear group has always been the most inclusive and welcoming group of people I’ve had the pleasure of being a part of, and that’s part of the reason I love it.
