I rode BMX for a while. Then i had a friend who came back to MI after living in Florida for a couple years. He rolled up, (no joke) did a crazy leg over the handlebar skid in front of my apartment, then told me to ride the bike. I thought it was neat and built up a conversion.

After riding that for a bit, doing mucho research, I bought a nicer bike. Now, a full year later I have been car less commuting on my bike for 6 months, and will be starting at Trek in WI in a couple weeks.

It seriously changed my life for the better. Cycling, fixed gear included, is now a HUGE part in my life. Its great. I feel much better as a person.
