No Fixed Berlin
I was in Fred Perry today (as you do in Berlin, head straight for the quintessential english store) and the very nice chap in there noticed my brixton cycles t-shirt.
He then proceeded to tell me the Berlin rozzers are clamping down hard on fixed gear bikes (didn’t have the heart to tell him i’m riding a disk brake bruiser and not a pretty track bike). Anyway, it seems the police are stopping any fixed riders and confiscating bikes with only one brake. Rather harsh methinks…
His suggestion, ride fast or get a lawyer.
Anyway, this rather lovely illustration from Shaun Malinowski seemed appropriate.
