Hey, all! I live in Baltimore and commute downtown on a junky Diamond Back hybrid I bought at a police auction for $75 (I had two Specialized Sirrus bikes that were stolen, one after the other, so I figured I would slum it this time). I also ride in an occasional century ride.
I loved biking as a kid growing up in Chattanooga, TN---I went through a Schwinn 12-speed phase for a few years, but mainly road a Haro dirt bike. I stopped for a few years after college, but got back into it about 2 1/2 years ago (I'm 33 now) to get into better shape and save some $$.
I'm totally hooked on it now and love my daily commute. Also, I'm completely obsessed with building up a fixed gear, and plan to buy a frame and parts as soon as I can pull the $$ together. I'd love to hear how some of you other FG fanatics got into it.
