What made you start riding fixed?

or as they used to call it in Yorkshire: "Ont' cog"

LOVE this! Is that really true?

After taking a quick ride on a beautiful black whip he'd built I was instantly hooked. For me, riding fixed is just such a great minimalist thing: pedal slower, you go slower, pedal faster, you go (really) faster... you can feel the road and feel what you're doing - it's TIGHT. I fell in love with riding fixed instantly and asked him to build me one straight away.

It's a Zen thing, right?
