hi all! my name is martin and i live in whitechapel. i want to get a fixed gear bike and i have been drawn to the pearson touche. ive never used a fixed gear before and to be honest i havent had a bike for over 10 years but ive decided that this is the way i have to go!?!?.... i also have an old road bike i can steal off my old dots boyfriend which i would like to strip and build into a lovely, solid, gear hating, king of the tarmac, beast but i think to get me started i should get something that i havent massacred!
i would like to say that im glad i found this site and that everyone on here seems really chilled and cool. and because of that i was hoping maybe you could answer a few questions for me.
well i plan on commuting to work for free on my fixie as soon as i get it and then try to get into courier work! what i was wondering was, what do i need to do to become a courier?
im guessing a few of you guys on here are couriers as i watch all these fixed wheel junkies all day zipping around mayfair delivering stuff. you are the guys that have given me the bug so any info on this would be great.
cheers guys! and gals?
