  • Ok, so just moved to Perth, Australia (not & Kinross) still waiting for my bikes to land, however I will be sans fixie skidder, do folk still entertain those kinds of bikes?

  • There's a few kickin' around.

    Came across a Reddit sub a while back for night alley-cat style races group.
    Think I watched a vid of theirs; a few fixie riders.

    Have a chat to Chris/Jonesy at Cycles Bespoke, Bayswater. May have a few leads.

    Groovesaurus on Reddit probably knows something about the local scene.

  • Cheers for the reply, I've only just got my bikes this week, I had previously been living in Aberdeenshire and because my day to day was driving to work and then driving a desk it got to the point where I abandoned fixie life for a granny gear but now I'm in Perth it's pan flat so need to get back on it I think. N+1

  • Pan-flat depending where you ride, I guess.... ha ha.

    If you like the flat stuff you could take the train to Mandurah and ride back along the bike path that runs pretty much parallel with the freeway. Its about 90km; I'd be making sure you pick a day when there's a tailwind; this time of year there's generally one kicks in. A couple of servos / food+drink stops along the way.

    Closest I'd ever get to fixie-style would be a tracklocross, but I have my gravel bike :)

  • Lol, used to ride fixed in Edinburgh whilst at uni, moved to Aberdeen and gave up the fixie dream due to driving to work and losing what fitness I had :(. Perth is flat in comparison, I've not done much in the way of exploring yet so I'm sure I'll find out!
