[edit] Tarck bike
At best a neologism. Gets 25 google hits only, many of which are for the mis-spelling of track, which seems nothing less than incredible for a concept supposedly "formed as a collaboration between ... members of national and regional cycling-related internet forums." As such, not notable. Tagishsimon (talk) 03:33, 1 February 2008 (UTC)

- Merge into Fixed-gear bicycle, where you'll find some info about this phenomenon. Responding to Wikiproject Cycling comment above. There is a subculture that talks about 'riding track' on bikes like this that will never see a velodrome; it forms the basis of most of the humour on BikeSnobNYC (he's reasonably well known in this niche; eg interviewed in the New York Observer and December's Bicycling Magazine[1]). If 'Tarck' wasn't WP:MADEUP he'd have used it as a butt of his jokes by now, and he hasn't. --Bazzargh (talk) 16:52, 3 February 2008 (UTC)
