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 <!-- your text --> 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 <ref> and </ref> 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 {{cite web}} and {{cite book}} and {{cite news}} 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!!!
