Winston as a professional I would've contacted the organisers in advance and not just shown up, but I just wanted to test out the ground really see what people thought and obviously people are less than enthusiastic which is all good - I'll happily do something else.

Also I'm sorry this is my first post and I'm asking for stuff straight off but the opportunity just came up, and this is a subject I'm personally interested in so thought I'd have an ask of a few things and see if people were enthusiastic about the idea. Just some pre-research before deciding to write something.

The fact is mainstream media are going to be picking up on a fixed gear culture that is, like it or not, seeping more and more into the mainstream itself.
I'd just read an article in one of the Daily Mail magazines for fucks sake - the DAILY MAIL. The reason I wanted to look at an alleycat and perhaps speak to messengers involved is that at least these people are verifiably at the forefront and centre of something and can give the reader an understanding of something that is beginning to resonate more widely. That might piss some people off as the culture becomes more thinly spread, widely covered, raped by ad men and diluted and corporatised. Others might see it as a compliment. Or you might just not give a shit.

I would've tried to genuinely reflect what I found at the event - what people get out of, why they do it. I think though I'll cover something a little less hostile though.
