Starting at $140 you can purchase an 18 tooth cog by Coasties that will allow you to have the fixed gear aesthetic but with breaks and free wheel coasting ability. [via] I am sure some people will bitch that if you are riding with brakes then you are pussy but whatever. Riding a fixed gear is a trend like any other, riding a bike is a trend like any other, brakes or no brakes. I can only equate it to the kids in high school that would spent $8,000 pimping out their $500 civic with shitty spoilers, ground effects and other shit that actually had zero effect on the cars performance.
