Fixed Gear Bicycles
(Re:your comment on my talk page)

I did not delete your edit completely, as what you added may potentially be useful. However, you didn't provide and source for the information. It's commented out with on the page, and is visible in the edit window. If you look at the revision history, fixed-gear bicycle has a lot of arguing back and forth on the advantages and disadvantages of fixies. Because of this, in this article I am strongly enforcing the rule that all information must be cited from a reliable source like a published book, magazine, or a story in a reputable news outlet. This cuts down on needless arguing, and keeps the page on track with accurate information.

If you can find a source written by an expert or a professional journalist - and you likely will be able to - then add the source between tags and then remove the commenting out - but do not remove the commenting-out if you cannot produce a valid citation. Don't just use a url; there are citation templates like and  and  available to help you produce a proper citation.

If you'd like, you can create a user subpage like User:Dazalc/fixie and use that as a testbed for editing the section. I can help you with that if you need.

Feel free to reply here; I'll add your talk page to my watchlist so I see your response. Don't forget to sign your talk page edits with ~, and let me know if you ever need any help. Cheers!!!
