I don't know if I've mentioned it before on this site but one of my chief hobby-like preoccupations is cycling and over the last year I've moved from road cycling to primarily fixed gear city and path riding while trying to nail some of the tricks that they talk about here:

A full-fledged multimedia feature by the nytimes on fixed gear freestyling. I've spent more time than I'd often like to admit watching bike-trick videos, and from what I can tell it doesn't get much better than this guy though:
Though I'm not sure what this guy has against roads, I can't argue with his use of "Funeral" by Band of Horses, gives a timeless quality to the video.
Fear not though, this blog will not turn into another fixed gear bike blog, though I might as well take a second to shout out the best of the bunch:
Bike Snob NYC
NoBrakesATL
Trick Track
Tarck (go to the forums)
For now I'm a lonely fixer in the suburbs, don't see many of our kind around these parts.
