i started riding it because i used to ride mountain bike when i was little, stopped after moving to america. after hearing and seeing friends riding fixie, i decided to pick up riding it as well. so, yeah, friends.
i tried to convert an old fuji i found but it turned out to be too big so i got a pista instead.
Davenport, iowa. this place is a straight up midwest small town.
i just simply wanted to start riding again and fixie was the best choice for my busy studio hours. i dont have to worry about maintaining it all the time. plus, because my town doesnt have a strong fixie scene, i get to be very close to my friends who all ride either fixie or ss. i dunno, i just love it i guess.
