Dude, i went into soho on tuesday and i counted 12 fixies. (yes, i counted cause i was fairly certain the scene in nyc blows and i wanted to confirm it).

On any given afternoon in philly i can count easily 30-40 or so. thats why you guys need to come ride here.

*edit- is that your bike infront of your cube? priceless hahaha

Yeah, thats my cube area.

I dont know how many times i've heard "who's bike? you really ride to work?"
Kind of funny. Feels weird not having my car sitting outside.

Mr Anderson, where are the pictures?

And Andy, Trackstar, King Kog!?!?! C'mon! NYC has the scene.

Meh. I actually am not a fan of nyc at all. I've lived 45 minutes away for 12 years and I've only been there 5 times in my life. But I did walk around almost all of Manhattan, expecting to see a lot of fixies. alas, i really only counted 12. My girlfriend was getting so annoyed with me haha

Im not really a fan of NYC either. Thats why I'm cheesin over visiting Philly. Seems cleaner.
NYC seems scum as fuck. I dont like that. No one was pleasant to me in my visit there.

Mr Anderson, where are the pictures?

I meant of your ride. Didnt you say something about taking pictures of the ride?
Edit : ride = last night, riding with friends.

That Rogue Status Bianchi is so badass. LOVE it.

I spent ALL DAY on my bike today downtown. Today was the first day of the Cascade Cycling Classic, big ass road bike race through Central Oregon. They had pretty much all the streets blocked off downtown, it was awesome. SO many fast, badass bikes.

Forgive me for not being in the know. What's so cool about fixed gear? Is it the additional challenge? When skateboarding downtown I always see couriers on fixed gears. I think it's too hot in houston for things like that to catch on.

woah, I've never seen celeste deep v's anywhere else. I wish mine didn't have the machined ish though, as I don't run a brake.

I have no interest in riding a fixie, although I can see the appeal. I am, however, shopping for both a road and mountain single speed to replace my Allez Elite and FSRxc Comp.
