New york fixed gear

i moved to NY but haven't met any Fixed cyclist yet
anyone know a good place to meet riders
or how to get onto the NY Fixed Gear Forums? (Invitation code)
thx

Hi Vicky,

Im a member and have just requested an invite code. Never done it before so lets see what happens.

I'd love one too if you can sort me out - planning a trip and I'd like to get up to date on the scene

Its just got some dialogue box that says "Beg for more invite codes here" which is presumably submitted to admin. Dont know what happens after that.

Might start a quick thread asking what the best OTP is. I can report back so we will know for certain.

i think williamsburg might be a good bet. my fixie friend lives there and it sounds like there is a good scene going. will check with him for any details but the forum is probably a good place to start if you can get in.

Hi I'm off to NYC at the end of next month and really want to find out what they're up to - if you get any invite codes please can you pass on on to me?

I'm only there for a week but want to hire/ borrow a bike and explore!

Get in touch with Chris Crash*, he's out there... Or Brooklyn Jack Crank...

People aren't really that big on Fixed bikes here at least from what ive seen but i might be missing something .ive been too union sq and all and when i went there wasn't any fixed riders maybe i just got bad timing.

Thanks Balki :)

I've been granted one invite code which you're more than welcome to. Can you PM me your name and email address... it says the name is mandatory so I guess they want a full name??

vicky, go to brooklyn. you will be unable to escape them.

I spotted Chris Crash in Union Square so some hipsters hang out there. :p

lol :D xD i havent been to brooklyn yet i might go today where abouts?

Balki im not sure how to PM but i think youve seen it by now XD

Cool, I'll send it now.

Got to Bedford Ave... exposed ankles and moustaches aplenty.

EDIT: Brooklyn lager FTW!

I am currently in New York and looking to rent a road bike for the weekend. The only rental place I can find is this:

Anyone have any better suggestions?

Clive, I picked up one a while ago from http://eddiesbicycles.net/ not the greatest selection when I was there but it sure is cheap.

Clive, look up gotham bikes (oddly, their webiste is www.togabikes.com ), they have three shops on Manhattan. I went into one this summer and hired a bike for the day. The guy was really nice. I seem to recall that they had road bikes for hire as well as fixed and hybrid. Give them a bell to check the deal.
