so i was communting to work (as i do 5 days a weeK) on my single speed, enjoying the morning ride, when out of the corner of my eye i spot a shiny pink track bike. now there aren't too many single speed guys ( a handful), and even less fixies around (that i know of), so i figured i'd turn around and talk to the guy. i approached, said hello, and said "nice bike". i proceeded to say how there aren't too many track bikes around here. his reply was: "there all over the city, and a few of us actually ride them on the track". he then started to tell me about kissena (which i didn't know of), and we talked briefly about traffic along the ocean blvd. in the last few weeks i've spotted a lot of fixies...is this the quiet before the storm?
it was a relief to talk to someone who gave you the time of day instead of the usual not even hello from another cyclist because i'm not in spandex.
