Welcome

Hello everyone i'm 15 and i want to ride a fixie but i have some questions :
1- Is state byclicle a reliable site?( is the frame solid and dosen't break like a create.....)
2-is Foffa a good place to go since i can get a 2nde hand in prefect condition for just350£
3-i am interested in rides,alleycats....(mainly because its exciting but also for the challenge that they represent ) is there an age required to participate in them?
Tank you for you're answers and advices :)

Hey, welcome! To answer your questions

1 - Never heard of it so I cannot say, you could try asking in the any questions answered thread.
2 - Foffa bikes tend to be frowned upon by the forum as they are more "lifestyle accessories" than bikes don't buy from anyone who puts more effort into the colour scheme of a bike than into the actual specifications of it. For £350 you will be able to buy a much better bike in the classifieds section of this here forum!
3 - I have never heard of there being age restrictions with regards to entering alleycats as long as you are comfortable riding in traffic you should be fine.

Hello londoners, i have a new job and will be moving down south for it from manchester in june, i had a charge plug stolen and didnt get it replaced until i knew if this job was going through, I'll be getting the up to £1000 cycle to work voucher from my new job, and would be willing to spend the full amount

Where would you recommend i use to get a bike to put together? looking for a classic/track style frame and durable parts for commuting 6-7 miles a day, have seen 14bikeco and brick lane bikes, are these the 2 to look at?

Hey welcome to the civilised part of the UK ;)! And of course the forum! Both of those are reputable establishments however you may be limited to what shops you can actually buy the bike from under the cycle to work scheme I don't really know the ins and outs of it I'm afraid. Hopefully I'll see you at drinks or on some of the rides.

Hi guys and gals! New to the forum so go easy on me :P.

Name's Alex and live in Chippenham just near Bath. Been riding and racing road bikes and mountain bikes for years now (I'm 18) and have taken a love for fixies even though I don't own one (yet).

All soon to change though as I have a frame that I'm prepping for self spraying and gonna be well on my way to build my own fixie!

Hello and Welcome! check out the current projects sub-forum for inspiration or if you just want to oggle some of the fine builds that forumengers undertake.

Hello everyone. Ted here. I'm going to be visiting London in about a month, I have some questions about traveling with my own bike or renting one there. I found two stores.. I'll post specifics and bother you all with tedious questions in the appropriate thread(s). thought i'd introduce myself before picking brains! take care everyone.

Hey! There is a thread for everything (just about) you may even escape being ranted at and told to UTFS given your exemplary attitude.

Hey,
I'm based in London and keen to get in to cycling for commuting and fun. Will be looking to buy a single speed or road bike shortly, when I can figure out how to post a wanted ad!

Hello and welcome! You will need to be out of the nursery in order to start a thread for details check this out.

I am 45 and based in London. I have got a red Belisimmo single speed bike I bought from Evans on special offer for 300 pounds reduced from 400. Frankly I have had nothing but trouble with it. It had mudguards but they were so close to the tyres I had to remove them. Metal swarf from the wheel rims kept coming off so I had to fit softer break pads. The back wheel keeps coming loose because the bearings in it are worn already after just a few months.

Hi! Sorry to hear about your problems it sounds like you should be raising a complaint with Evans there are a number of members who work for the company who could give you advice about how best to do this and there are many knowledgeable members who will be happy to give you advice about sorting it out yourself should you wish to do that. Probably the best place to ask is Any Questions Answered hopefully you can figure something out so you can enjoy riding your bike in the coming (probably very short) summer.
