I haven't been around for a while, been very busy with various projects, away touring and so on... but some of you might remember me for this little beastie http://mikesimagination.wordpress.com/condor-stadio-fixed-tt-bike/
But I digress, this post probably qualifies as market research.. I have some links into the fixed gear scene in Thailand and have also teamed up with a chap based in Thailand, formerly a tour leader with Red Spokes, to offer some adventures of a slightly different flavour. One of the things we were thinking of running is a fixed gear and single speed supported tour (no need to carry anything) along the coast of southern Thailand.. the emphasis being on a beach with beers at the end of every day of riding, meeting up with some local riders and generally enjoying some quiet backroads. It would be 12 days. Is that the kind of thing anyone would be interested in?
People tell me the fixed gear bubble has burst, bollocks to my mind, I think it's just settled down to a significant community of folk that love the simplicity of fixed. I tour fixed, I've been riding fixed for years and for putting on a plane a fixed gear, or SS, bike is just perfect.
Anyway, just interested to see if there is any interest.. although not looking for any commitment and this isn't a commercial post as I'm not blathering on about the business or anything, just getting a feel for interest. We only need 4 people to make a tour happen.
cheero!
