Unless you don't know already, just be sure to get B12, and don't let the meat eaters bother you, your gonna hear a lot of hype, actually I don't let people know unless I have to, I get so tired of defending my actions. This fixed gear forum seems much more up beat than the road bike one. I've been a rodie for years and tried out a fixed gear at the LBS earily this spring and they almost had to pry me off the bike; now I'm hooked.
I am 32. My story is sort of the reverse. I was a vegetarian for the first 17 years of my life and I have been a white-meat eater ever since. I feel great too, and people tell me I pass for much younger. I am thinking of low calorie/complex-carbs diet ever since I saw a show on PBS. In any case, vegan is alright by me.
