Hi everybody.
Finally i can contribute with something useful to this place since im from Madrid.
Actually third generation and that it´s to say a lot since nobody it´s actually from Madrid.
Awesome city to ride fixed or whatever.
Incredible big fast alleys or small old steeped streets with really tight corners. We have a couple of really steeped streets that we use for sprints from time to time.
nice weather most of the year.
amazing beer.
small group of all-of-the.year-riders but most of them great people to share a Mahou.
we havent had a big bang of
colored aerospokes, fixed gear madness and i think it has its pros and cons. I stuck with the pros.
El guapo:
So yes, theres a lot going on, and next time please get in contact, wheter you bring a bike or not (we can always get you one).
Alockett:
Barcelona its way far than us with bike culture. People there uses bikes everyday and, as you say, they have a city bike hiring that everybody use.They are thinking of this too in Madrid. Will see.
On the oher hand i love to ride Madrid wherever i please, between cars or sidewalks. Bike lanes will ruin the fun (thats personal opinión. Lots of people wouldn´t agree) and up to this momento police dont care about bikes (cars either).
