At 5:50 tonight I will get on my road bike and ride 20 miles (short cut) climbing 1,800K home. This is a typical week day for me. I do wear bibs and lycra/spandex but no logos. I do ride through 5 cities on my way to work but none of them are 'urban'. I don't ride my bike to the coffee shop or pub because I would rather spend my time/money on my bikes and family.
Both my bikes are fixed (hell I'm even fixed) Being 'impure' is just fine with me. here's my minimum parameter for pure status in order to be counted (since this is what i do): at least 24 miles a day commute. all runs to liquor and grocery store must be ridden fixed. chrome, re-load, or baileyworks bags only (no timbuk2--sorry). no logos. if you meet these minimum criteria, you are pure and can count yourself. 32:17 counts twice. :) |

In addition to that, I have lyrca pants and arm warmers. I got them because I thought they'd keep me warm, and they've done exactly that so far. Do I get points for having stolen them? |
"pure fixie" resumes, aint that neat.

smells like troll in here

i know i'm not the only VBer, there arent many, but there's definatly more than one

It is funny that the group defined as 'Pure' (Young, Urban, Crome Bag wearing, Fixed gear riding, Forum Posing) barely existed 10 years ago. Nevermind those roadies that have been riding fixed for the past 100 years.
Pure is my five year-old doing her first 'cross race on her heavy ass Target SS because it looks like fun running through the mud and carying her bike over barriers. Didn't care that she was last, didn't care what anybody thought. It was fun and that's all. I wish I could be half as pure a cyclist as she is. |

Pureness = x + s^n + t^m + l*b
Where x = number of broken rims; y = number of wounds requiring stitches, n = average number of stitches; t = number of times in the dentist, m = number of teeth lost; b = bunny photos, l = number of pancakes. QED |

i wouldn't be too sure of that. seriously. dap. 32x17, the story about your daughter is the cutest thing ever. The ONLY thing I like about SoCal is the riding/weather. You can just hammer forever and ever. Last time I was in LA I tried some very nice singletrack in Malibu Canyons. Ended up cracking my helmet. Enough internet geekdom for the day. Gotta go get my azz kicked in Brooklyn. |
I think theres a troll somewhere slapping his monkey to this thread
