1. What influenced you to ride fixed ?
Still play soccer at 57 but have chrondomalcia. Doc said ride a stationary bike, but I started riding wife's bike to work instead last year. (10 m ea way) Decided to get my own in Feb 09, so went to bike shop and the sales guy asked if I had considered fixed. I did not know what that was, but after riding a Langster for 10 minutes, I was hooked. I love it, and ride almost every day.
3. Where do you live (city and state for US, city and provence/country for outside of the US)?
Cincinnati, Ohio; pretty big hills so started at 42/18, then 17, and now 16. Knees will limit to 42/16.
4. If you live in a small city or suburb, how/why did you decide to ride fixed?
just fun, kinda like British cars, ie why do you do that?
