my commuter road bike was stolen
then a friend traded me a fixed that was a converted road bike he wasnt using for a video camera i never used...before that i had only ridden a fixed gear maybe a total of 10 minutes in my life...i rode it for the first time on a 5 hour, 3 boro grafitti tour ride 2 years ago...great introduction to fixed riding let me tell you
now i have 2 new fixies, and the one i first started riding has been passed along to a friend
