It is interesting that you found other postings with the name fixedgearhead. I used it when I belonged to a number of groups that related to bicycling, and I haven't participated in them for years. The name I used was fixedgearhead. because that is the type of bike we all were riding at that time. A fixed gear bike is one with one gear and no freewheel. Every time the rear wheel goes around the pedals go around also, so no Coasting. I guess I should have copyrighted the name fixedgearhead because it seems that a lot of folks have stated using it as their own. I don't really care but it does prove that nothing goes away on the internet.
