Fixed/SS are still everywhere in chicago. No hills, little maintenance, makes sense.

At UC Davis, I can't go to class without seeing at least 6-10 fixed gears either on the way or parked next to my lecture hall.

everywhere, yes.

Starting to see random fg's around Melbourne this season. LOTS more bikes about overall this year though.

All times are GMT -6. The time now is 12:27 PM.
