With a bike that colour-I'm not surprised
Still, get it out on the road with the UK's current weather and it will soon tone down to a dirty brown tint.

hello
I see plenty of under-50 girls riding single speeds on my commute route......but an over-50 girl on a fixed is rare around here.

Sorry Alice,
All the females I see riding fixed gear are barely 20+! They do seem quite good at it, and most don't have brakes. They do have some lovely piercings and tats though!

Every time someone starts complaining about pink bikes, I get to post another picture of mine.
Today, it got a good cleaning, a new chain, some tweaks the derailleur, and a 20-mile ride during modest snow flurries.

Wow!
Now that's a REAL fixed gear bike...
We can't let the kids have all the fun...
In addition to my bike being pink I have a flower headbadge...
My friend Harv helped me with the bike...he even rode it a bit (his first time on a fixed and he's 72!).

Well, now the headbadge would make a great tattoo!

Hey, your bike looks great and fixed is fixed. BTW, there are four 50+ women in our racing club that race at the track. At least one, has a fixed gear bike that she rides on the road.
