What do you do in real life?

Since becoming a member of this wonderous forum I have been somewhat in awe of the amount of disposable income you guys seem to have. Many people having multiple track bikes with cycles shorts that seem to cost more than my entire bike.

So I am just inquistive to know what you guys do for a living to allow you to live in the most expensive city in the world yet still maintain your bike addiction?

Oh, Im a paramedic by the way.

cool a paramedic.....im a shoe:)

Check back there is another thread like this...

A shoe. Right or left? Chelsea boot? Specifics...I need specifics?

loser^ you wanna be more like a shoe,its all the rage

other then being a shoe i spend my days learning at university,im currently studying graphics and digital design....well i say currently ive acctualy just finished my first year...but to pay my way at the moment im doing labouring at the house i live in......i cant be put in a box me:)

According with a recent research study, 86.66% of the fixed gear riders are designers or into arts.

I do a few things; I'm a film student, I run a small web design firm and I currently run all of the online stuff at Brick Lane Bikes :-)

digital design, loserX2
im all grown-up now, finished studies and everything

(i cant stop trying to figure out what type of shoe i would be?!)

Why is it that most people who ride fixed are into the arts/design? The ony two fixed riders I have ever met, my uncle and some random guy riding a pista were both photographers. Hmm...I think I need switch careers...Hmm I own a mac...does that count?

I think that's the minority here!

yes, there's lots of design bods, but there's students and genuine poor people too.

I make small hardwood carvings of the Royal Family and sell them to American tourists, until I get moved on by the Police.

i'm a student. Nearly finished sixth form (5 days!) and will be moving to london to study chemistry.

nice thats going to be good,im sure its been mentioned somewhere here before but where are you going to be living? when do you move up?

aidan - not sure entirely yet because i had to pick loads different choices for accommodation, but the one i can remember were in hammersmith, camden, fulham and south ken. should be up by end of september, going to be working my arse off to save some money up (although it'll probably end up being spent on my bike...!)

I'm a geek. Or, more specifically, I am an Integration Analyst that has a final interview today to become a Lead Enterprise Architect.

More generally, I work for a major music company.

nice do you have an idea of which area you want to live?
