People I owe beer to, part the first.
I was reading some of the recent comments regarding the legality of fixed gear bikes and this one really stood out to me:
Another example of bizarre law enforcement priorities. I'm willing to bet a lot more accidents could be prevented if, for example, they would have a public campaign and spend some time enforcing the laws requiring motorists to signal lane changes & turns - a violation I see just about every time I get behind the wheel of my car.
Meanwhile...I'm a lawyer & I'd be happy to help someone contest a ticket for riding a fixed gear bike, pro bono (free). It's the principle of it...

Save Alicia's email address, all y'all fixed gear riders. If they're actually cracking down, it's nice to know we have someone on our side willing to help us out.
Alicia, I owe you a beer. And if you're not the beer drinking type, a really frosty soda or something. Thanks for sticking up for the little guy.
(Except maybe some good curvy single-track immediately preceding it.)

i don't get how they can ticket you for "not having brakes" . Fixed gears always have brakes, they may not be great brakes..but they are brakes...
It would be like saying bikes don't have an adequate motor to keep up with cars.
