I started riding fixed on the road 2yrs ago. Before that it was 10yrs on the track/road/cyclox.
I was invited to ride the Clunker Classic - bring any bike inappropriate for mtb and ride it as hard as you can against 20 other people down a narrow rocky 4 mi long dirt track. Not being drunk is frowned upon. In the lead up to the event I had a small panic on, so I picked up a disused road frame, found a set of shitty fixed clincher wheels and lobbed something together. Got home and the frame was still in one piece so decided to ride it to work instead of the DH/freeride bike.
