Well my holiday is almost over and Madrid has been a blast, although I can't get my head around siesta and opening closing times here? Before I left, lots of people had told me that Madrid wasn't really a cycling city, except for the few spandex clad weekend mountain bike guys riding around. I refused to believe them, especially after finding a couple of things online hinting at a tiny Fixed cuture happening here. Well it's true, There is almost no one riding here at all. The thing that is amazing, is that Madrid is an awesome city for riding, especialy riding fixed. It has huge big avenues running through it and lots of amazing twisting old streets in the center that would be amazing for alley cats. There are also tons of big Plazas that would be amazing for riding around and just hanging out in. The traffic here is nothing compared to London or New York. When I come back here in a month or so I am bringing my bike next time. I caught my first glimpse of someone riding fixed today, I nearly dropped my Ice cream with excitment! So they are here, somewhere? I also saw this this afternoon
Nothing else to say. Oh yeah I did nearly tear my left pinky off when I fell with my hands in my pokets and couldnt get hands out in time? Totally weird injury. It looks like a black and blue hotdog attached to my hand.
Anyway Looking forward to hanging out with all your ugly mugs soon! Hope you all had good holidays!
