Started when I was very young, first bike without training wheels was a little Huffy with a coaster brake. Rode BMX bikes a little around middle school age, but got frustrated because I could never do any tricks (I was a very skinny kid, throwing a bike around was nearly impossible). In college I got drunk and rode my brother's track bike, had a ton of fun, and so I built a fixed gear conversion, worked a couple jobs doing food/messenger delivery, yada yada yada here we are.
