Please study and report back: Is the baconator
on a fixie or not? subject of debate for prob
close to 2 decades now.
2011-08-17 20:40:16
I have never seen it before. I will pay attention but i bet it is a fixie!
2011-08-17 20:56:29
Looks like it:

Where is his helmet?
2011-08-17 21:03:44
it's a hard beret

I assume Bacon takes acting seriously and would want authenticity. I would be its a fixie and looks like he's only sporting the front brake too.
Although if I remember there is a "trick" portion of the movie and I can't remember if the pedals are moving backward or if its a freewheel stunt double.

From that trailer, it looks to be a fixie when he is doing tricks, but later on when he is riding it looks Ike a free wheel. Hmmm
2011-08-17 21:12:24
Backwards mounted front brake. More aero for sure.

Kevin Bacon needs to go on a "Flock of Cycles"!!! Loved the movie but AWFUL safe-riding in the streets!!
2011-08-18 03:27:55
btw, those bike-tricks were AWESOME!!!

this was fun to watch with a group of cyclists. bikey, I think you may have been sitting in front of us, but it was too dark for me to tell at that point.
2011-08-18 17:41:42
Yeah, this was awesome.
2011-08-18 18:48:42
I think I was. Did we briefly talked about best cycling movies? And you mentioned one called "rider-something" ?
