Followed a recommendation by a friend, joined up. Born in London, used to ride everywhere (work etc.) when I was younger. Had a long break where I didn't have a bike, last year I started looking for a new one. Came across Sheldon Browns website, read about single speed and fixies.. thought I'd go for it. Bought a Marin Dominican (since customised it somewhat.. still working on that :) ). Running it fixed and haven't looked back, even when i got the bottom of my trouser caught in the chain once and it turned one leg into shorts...
I took the hint and just wear shorts now, much better.. I should listen to the bike more often.
