[QUOTE="mightymouse, post: 3142735, member: 15253"] The Bendix brake was a "coaster brake". You could pedal, you could not pedal (coast), and you pushed back on the pedals to stop. (FWIW, the coaster brake was invented because fixed gear bikes were too hard for some to ride.) On a fixed gear bike, there is no coasting possible. Spandex shorts are padded in the crotch, are designed to absorb moisture, and help prevent chafing. Bicycles are still widely used for everyday transportation in the Third World with no obvious effect on the birth rate.:D [/QUOTE]
