1. Why do you ride FG?
2. What influenced you to do so?
3. What other types of bike have you owned ?

I ride a fixed gear because it is just another way for me to enjoy cycling and was strongly influenced by the late and great Sheldon Brown in this and many other aspects of riding and building.

I have owned every kind of bike except a unicyle, a recumbent, and a Penny Farthing.

I work as a bike mechanic, am involved in local advocacy, ride a ton of miles, and will start working as a messenger tomorrow.
