Hey all,

I'm moving to Seattle in a month and was wondering if any Seattle riders lurking this forum can give me a quick intro to the Seattle bike "scene." I figure I'll be living in the Capitol Hill area and will be riding to UW every day. I have 2 bikes (fixed road conversion & brakeless track) that I'll be taking with me.

So are there any good bike shops in the general area (preferably ones that know what to do with a fixed gear), do people commute on bikes a lot, is the city brakeless-unfriendly (I know downtown is for sure), do any of you race track, etc.? I'll be all by myself up there so I need stuff to do =)

Thanks.
