Yes a weirdo fixie thing. I think it started as a city courier thing but the hippies picked it up.
Been meaning to post this up for a while. A guy I work with is somewhat of a local cycling legend. He's been riding for years, he's 49 years old and he bikes to work Monday through Thursday. He lives 20 miles away. That's 20 miles in the morning just to get to work, we start at 6:30 in the morning. He landscapes all day then rides 20 miles back home. In the summer of 93 he rode 7300 miles around the country. Not to mention he's made a bunch of trips to and from his hometown in Massachusetts. His wife brings him to work on Fridays then he runs the 20 miles home that evening. I think he said he's ran 89 ultra marathons including several 100 milers. It blows my mind. Anyway he alternates between 3 bikes, here's some pics.

Wow not sure why I didn't check this tread out earlier. After reading several of the posts I am glad I held onto some of my old Diamondback BMX bikes from back in the day when I was racing. One of the benefits of being sponsored by Diamondback were the free bikes. My favorite "mini" by far was my Diamondback formula 1 with the drilled out rims. If I remember correctly its a 1984 model. Lord knows I was pissed when I moved here for the first time back in 86 and there is NO bmx racing of any kind. Back in the PNW and BC it was a way of life. Probably explains why I resented being forced to move here for so long. The one thing I enjoyed the most in the world was taken away from me. I would never sell any of these bikes (I am sure they are not worth that much anyways) and to be honest I am not sure why I have held onto them for so long. I have debated letting my boys ride them, perhaps one day.

The stem pad is awesome! I forgot about those.
Side note - I remember seeing the Hutch Trick Team (Woody Itson and Mike Dominguez) around 1986 at the local Schwinn dealer. Wanted a Hutch ever since. They always felt so right riding others' as a kid. Still have some stickers somewhere. The ramps were a joke even by the standards of a couple years later, but they could all freestyle on flatland, too. Simply amazing to a 13 year old back when B&W TV's were still common. I never rode ramps but gave flatland my best go for many years. It's still amazing to me, even though nobody seems to do it anymore.
