I already did this last week in the introductions thread but i thought it would be approriate here since this is probably where i'll be posting the most anyways, so here goes:

My name is Colin, and i'm and alcoholic. Just kidding. Anyways. I've been riding casually my entire life until this year when i discovered fixed gear bikes. That feeling of connection with the road hooked me. As far as bike mechanics go i'm a total beginner (i'm literally still learning new things everyday) so any help is highly appreciated. Aside from bikes i'm into travel, photography, art in general, tattoos, etc. Professionally i'm a camera assistant mainly working on commercials.

I heard about this forum at critical mass a few months ago. The main reason why i signed up here is that I don't know anyone that's really into riding bikes(i know, it's sad) and i happen to be very shy in person so i thought this would be a good place to meet folks and learn a thing or two.

I hope this post wasn't too long winded and/or innappropriate.
