1. What influenced you to ride fixed (friend, professionals, seeing others, messengers)?
Got sick of gears in 2006 and went single speed, got talking to someone who said fixed was the way, and loads more people who said it was really hard and scary, so I made one

2. Is your bike (or was your first bike) a conversion?
Yeah both bikes are a conversion, first fixie was and is a 1973 Universal, the other is a 2000's GT Chucker

3. Where do you live (city and state for US, city and provence/country for outside of the US)?
Isle of Wight, England

4. If you live in a small city or suburb, how/why did you decide to ride fixed?
Liked the idea and people made it sound like it was really hard
