Hello everyone,
I'm Gloria. Started riding fixed (or bicycles in general) when I moved to Beijing about two years ago and I've just moved to London, originally from Singapore. Right now going to school at Central Saint Martins. Got into an accident last month in Beijing and think my crank might be bent? Can't get my handlebar to be where I want either with the replacement fork... After crawling this forum a bit I've decided to visit the London Bike Kitchen today to have Le Petit (that's the name of my bike) checked out. I'm not very good at riding and use it solely to get from point A to point B. I used to ride with Big Dirty (http://bigdirtycycling.com/), a cycling group/collective made up of foreigners in Beijing, 95% dudes. They do a ride around the city every Thursday night and end the evening with a couple of beers at a dive bar. Been riding my bike around London this past week and a half and I have to say it's terrifying!! Hope to meet more riders here and go on rides regularly! Cheers!!
