'Fixie' is a four letter word around here (unless you are talking specifically about fixie inc)

To quote someone else 'Most of us ride fixed wheel bikes, not child's toys'

Sorry. I'm new to the forum. I assumed it's the more the merrier? Look forward to seeing you all.

No, there is a £35 non-refundable vetting charge, payable directly to me.

Attend any of the week-night drinking sessions and buy a round.

Then stand on one foot and recite from front to back in minute detail all of the constituent components that make up your bike.

Then you will be blind-folded and subject to a furiously-paced grilling whereby someone will shout out a gear inch and then you must reply with all possible permutations of chainring and sprocket sizes.

Then if we are convinced of your commitment and knowlege and are very fortunate you might receive a tap on the shoulder from another ride member on your morning commute.

Maybe.

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:
![](https://www.google.co.uk/images/srpr/logo4w.png)
That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

> Quote text by starting lines with >

Mention another user by @username

For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:

```
Your code goes here
```
Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.

If you upload more than 5 files we will display all attachments as thumbnails.
