Fixed Gear in Lincolnshire

  • Hello all
    Just wondering how many are from Lincolnshire?

    Im from sunny (or not so) Grimsby, only seen a couple of fixies about. One nice looking one always parked in the bike sheds at Youngs factory dowm humberston road, blacl and red paint scheme.

    Im guessing there's a lot more in Lincoln

  • The rest of lincolnshire is pretty flat tho'.

  • Probably best off asking in LBS, can't imagine there being much of a fixie skidder following, but guess you will likely see a few single-speed commuters etc

  • The rest of lincolnshire is pretty flat tho'.

    You know what i didn't even think about that! In fact last time i was in Lincoln i said to my dad 'you'd struggle with a fixie round here', haha silly me.

    But yeah Grimsby/Cleethorpes is rather flat, seafront for some late night cruising!

    And pardon my ignorance but what is LBS?

  • Single-speed Lincoln-area commuter checking in, as already pre-foretold in advance beforehand earlier on. A Charge Plug Grinder, in cream for my sins. The Whole Town's Laughing At Me. [In truth, they were already laughing before i got it.] It looked pretty much white in the photograph. utflbs. Gotta get some black vinyl to cover the mudguards, i think - it looks too 'just so,' being all colour-matched. I did see a fixie once, albeit on the flat SUP next to Tritton Road. I've given it a whirl myself but pedalling like a loon while applying the brakes on a downhill is not my idea of fun.

    I tried to prettify it but wound up breaking its legs.
    Starting as i'm sure to go on.

  • Ha! I'm from Grimsby.
    But don't live there anymore...
