Riding all my life one way or another. Choppers at Uni cos I thought they look cool. I like my fixeds cos they look cool too but mainly ride them for the simplicity and maintenance. Been riding my track bike for three and a half years and have had a whole host of second/project fixies during that time too. Doing the London2Brighton in 2004 I came across only two other guys riding fixed. We shared a knowing smile. One of them said 'it's the only way to fly' - that has stuck with me ever since.
Oh, and reckon I must be personally responsible for persuading at least ten others to ride fixed. All of whom have not looked back.
