1. Why do you ride FG? It is fun, fast, and cheap. I commute to work on it.
2. What influenced you to do so? Sheldon Brown's evangelical articles, and teammates. I wanted a winter beater to put in more riding hours before race season started in April. I then started commuting and didn't want to leave my road bike at work. It then took on a life of its own.
3. What other types of bike have you owned? Still own a high end road bike, a mountain bike, and two fixed gear bikes.
