Critical Mass - Feb 08

Gabba Hello chaps.
I was down the CM tonight and met a girl from this discussion list. Eli (maybe? - Sorry, Im really bad on remembering names). Anyway, she told me she has been cycling in Sao Paulo and that she hasnt seen any other fixie on the streets...Next time youre there go further south to Curitiba and youll see a few ;) The scene is just starting over there, and it goes shoulder to shoulder with the local CM, thats also making a lot of noise in there. Anyway, here are some links for the ones that are curious about this very peculiar fixed-wheel bunch (its mainly in brazilian-portuguese, but Im sure youll have fun with the pictures!):

Here you can listen to my mate Jacks Radio show. I was on the show with Roxy and the BikeSnobNYC (http://bikesnobnyc.blogspot.com/ it worth seeing. Its a laugh!):

You can get in touch and youre more than welcome to come down to South America and experience some friendly fixed-wheel ride outs over there. Im always travelling around Brazil, London and Barcelona. Theres a good bunch over there in Spain as well. Theres a site called "Forum" which is a mix of downhill "skid friendly" route and velodrome and it was probably the most amazing place I`ve ever cycled in my life!

Was indeed me, nice to meet you gabba. will indeed be heading back to brazil at some point and will have to get some tips of you for next time.
