edit: Maybe its different in Seattle, but I've only met or seen a handful of riders. There can't be too many of us down here, at least in the Metro STL area. We are pretty tight knit, and if you ride fixed and you like to be social, there's a chance our group of bros know you. Or maybe we are just really ignorant and STL fixed gear scene is huge.

The guy who lives above me organizes alley cats and weekly events, centered around cycling with an emphasis on SSFG. I feel that moving into my apartment with a fixed rider, who will eventually do some graphic design work of them, is like mainline injecting myself into the STL fixed "scene". Sorry if I sound douchy.

second edit: When I use the term scene, I can see how it would be associated with a counter culture. I have openly stated on this website that I think the counter culture involved with fixed gear is lame as ****. A lot of the guys we roll with are way into that, and I have nothing against them as long as they aren't all up in everyone's face about it. I just like riding my bike with other people.
