    Looks a bit like decorative logo, or a mascot.

    I’ve seen someone do that recently (maybe the same guy?). My mom-ness always kicks in and I think “I hope you’re paying for your own shoes, buddy.”

    From the San Francisco Chronicle [link] emphasis added:

    Joel Young, 26, a San Francisco computer programmer, sees brakes as a crutch. Without them, he’s more attuned to traffic, he said. He’s had one accident wholly attributable to the bike being a fixie: His chain popped off and he used his gloved hand to grab the front tire to stop. The tire burned through his glove, but he says he didn’t crash.
