What made you start riding fixed?

Mostly, yeh. Though begging on street corners is increasingly fashionable.
I'll let you in to a little secret; most male couriers live only for the day when they will meet an attractive young woman who has a thing for couriers. If you are that woman then the streets are your oyster.
Another little secret; most male couriers are riddled with syphilis.
Enjoy!

I am actually going out with an ex-courier. He says he's not worried about my penchant for current couriers because they all have syphilis. I thought he was just trying to warn me off them, but it sounds like it must be true :(
