I also have a fixed gear. But I converted it from an old vintage touring frame. And I don't live in SF or NYC and do very little urban riding. Besides, my use and ownership of a geared bike make me an infidel in that religion.
I actually wondered outloud if I was qualified to respond to a post on the roadie forum regarding clothing. That's where I got the idea for this thread.
Anyone else have this problem?
I was like you ar first but I always feel most connected with my fellow commuters. Cycling with the family and being car-free are big parts of my life so I can really relate to the folks in those forums also.
Eventually, like with all of us, the cyclist that you are will come out and reveal himself to you.
