Good morning to you all!
I'm Almer, a student of industrial design and engineering in Rotterdam (the Netherlands).
I dont ride fixed myself yet, but i got a couple of single speeds which i like to rip around town with.
The reason i'm posting here is that at the moment i just started a school project in cooperation with motorola about communication within urban youth subculture scenes.
As a subculture scene to work with i went with fixed gear riders, knowing some around town here, and liking the attitude and ideas of the scene around here.
I've just been doing some research up to now, not working on any real products or concepts as of yet. But next week from tuesday till saturday our school will be travelling to liverpool to collaborate with some design students at Liverpool School of Art & Design (LJMU). Here we will be working out some concepts, focussing on communication technology in clothing and sportswear. (in my case specially designed for fixed riders)
what i was wondering is if anybody would like to meet up, maybe discuss some concepts i had in mind or come up with some brilliant shit together ;)
or if anybody could point me to some local spots where fixed riders hang out?
I don't really know anything about my schedule yet, so can't make any appointments right now, but it'd be nice to know if anyone's interested!
maybe see you later?!
Almer
