Sad to say I'm no fixie poseur. I'm a roadie with a mild case of OCP. I was intrigued by the fixie ride and to a lesser extent, the hipster style.

I wear spandex and a roadie helmet(my attire costs more than the bike) on my San Jose, which has fenders and a rear rack. And brakes are on the front and back and I use them all the time as I can't skid worth a flip, even with a 42-17 ratio. No clips and straps here, I went spd.

And there ain't no way in Hades I'm drinking PBR; even unemployed I make too much money to buy that stuff.



If you want to see me in action, I'll be racing in the alleycat this Sunday in Huntsville. Be at Trailhead on Andrew Jackson at 4:30pm.
