Hello from Antioch, Ca!

Hello all. I'm new to this forum obviously. I've ridden road bikes for a while, but I haven't really gotten into the cycling culture at all.

My brother started riding a fixed gear when he moved away to Chicago about two years ago. He said I should try it and I just got my first bike to call my own. I have a Windsor the Hour and learning to ride fixed is pretty tough. Hopefully with support from everyone on the board, I'll be good in no time.

Thank you.

No brakes? Could that be why learning to ride fixed is tough?

I would still have one brake up front. That makes for fewer tyres to burn through, too.


Welcome to BF, and feel free to PM me with any questions !
