Hello all. One of the new folks on the block, and very excited to be part of the fourm. I look forward to learning from all the experience that exsists on this site and all the input everyone has. I started riding about 4 years ago and since then, have been able to completley eliminate the use of my car. Well, with the exception of towing around a drumkit! Workin on that... I ride anywhere from 10-60 miles a day commuting around from work and gigs to regular rehearsals. I cover the areas from Lowell MA north as far as Amhearst St./ N.Nashua NH, and south all the way out to JP and the Back Bay Boston MA. Over the past year, I have switched from a single speed and gone the fixed gear route and just built my first track bike set up about 3 months ago. You could say its the "purist" route, but I can honestly say, I have never learned more about motion or control better than riding a track bike. Not to mention...how fast you can go! I love my bike. I love riding. Thats it! Keep your head up. Keep on riding!

cheers-matt
