Welcome

Howya,
a quick introduction to who you are, where you live and your bike or anything you think relevant for us to know would be perfect.

I will start, my names Lorcan, I live in the Dublin 7 area, just outside Cabra.
I started off riding fixed by building an old pug into a fixed wheel, it has a light blue frame, drops and skinwalls. I also recently bought a 2008 Fuji track, if you see me on either just shout.

My name is Erik and I have been fixed for almost a year (warm applause)

Nah seriously though, living on Pearse Street, near Hanover Quay... bought my Fort from Sean (Courier, dreadlocks, green Bareknuckle) and resprayed it and built it up myself (currently re-doing it again)Not in Dublin during the days much as I work in Kildare but if you see me give me a holla!

Al, Meath St area (just off it).... currently on a '08 Langster that was an Insurance replacement for a Paddy Wagon, but am in the middle of a Mercian build drool

I'm Josh, riding fixed since July and loving it, havent used a geared bike since. Living in Sandymount and workin in temple bar. The bike is a black pake with white grips saddle and straps and a snowflake front wheel

Im Neil,
I got my crappy falcon about a year ago and since then ive given it a rattle can spray job and replaced everything except the frame, forks, headset and seat post. commute most day to college on thomas street. love riding in dublin.

Welcome Neil.

tobey from waterford,
riding a surly,
no other fixed gears in waterford, boring as shit riding on your own

What part of Waterford may I ask? My Dad lives in Araglen, its in Cork but on the border of Tip and Waterford, I might bring my bike down next time.

I'm Ruairí and I just got my first fixed gear bike (bianchi pista) about two weeks ago. I live in Rathmines and cycle to school in Ballsbridge most mornings.

Hi all
John-from Longford,live in Leitrim.Only posting here as Leitrim Fixed scene a bit dead.
Ride 10 miles of deserted country roads to work.Used to live in Dublin,London,Berlin and San Francisco.Rode around all of those places-not fixed tho.Would love to go up to the Smoke for urban type activity-smell of cowshit is gettin a bit samey-gettin all nostalgic for a lungful of bus fumes.any other rural types/culchies out there?

Oh come on! Lol
Some of the biggst fixed gear scenes and you go fixed now? Fail.

That was 15-20 years ago buddy.
Been ridin fixed for 6 or 7 years now,also ride road and off road.Sometimes I even ride single speed for a laugh-suppose thats a fail as well.
I loved city life,etc. back in the day.But very happy livin an ridin in the countryside ,away from those sneering,trendier-than-thou inside-the-pale types...
And sure what would I know about any of that hipster kinda stuff,bein from LD and all.We're all savages down here!

Feck sake take it easy!! I was just messing around, I never said anything about it being in any way hipster related or city living related.
I was just saying that it would be more common to get into fixed gear riding in a city with such a high number of fixed gear riders.
There isnt anything wrong with SS either, I would have a SS bike only I cant afford another bike.
And fwi I love riding in the coutryside, most of my family are from Cork, I spend allot of time there and there is nothing like it. I dont mean Cork city either, like back arse of nowhere countryside Cork.

OK no worries.Thing is,none of the scene had really taken off when I lived in those places all those years ago.And if it had I probably would have missed it anyway!!
As the scene is predominantly urban-based,my own experience is a bit different.And as for the black arse of nowhere countryside thing - I love it.Its the one of the last things we have left that weve got lots of thats free...
Anyway strop over-didnt mean to get so uptite.

Dont worry about it, my post could have been read a couple of ways now that I look at it...
Anyway I havent brought my fixed gear down to Cork yet, have to soon, only thing is that my Dad lives in a pretty big velley...
Suppose HTFU it will be hill training...
