I started riding SS about a year ago up until about 2 months ago, when i had my bike nicked. Gonna be fully fixed in about 2 weeks when i finish my build. My first experience of fixed was about 10 years ago when my dad cycled the lands end to john o groats run on a fixed wheel...there and back....at the age of 60!! Nutter. So i had a run around on it then, but thought it was a bit weird. My dad is a bike fanatic, and as a result i spent my formative years doing ALOT of cycling. Summer hols mainly spent cyclng round the highlands of scotland. Cant remember a time when i wasn't cycling. Did a stint as a courier in Edinburgh for 6 months in winter that nearly finished me off about 8 years ago before i moved to london, but it was all mountain bikes back then esp with the hills of edinburgh/ shitty weather to contend with. Cant wait to get back on the road again fully fixed!
