I'm Rob, I'm 18 and an animation student at the Art Institute of Philadelphia. I live just outside Philadelphia in Lansdowne(not Lansdale which is over an hour away). I ride a converted Club Fuji and have but have not been riding much an FBM Night Train bmx bike. I love hot chocolate.

well i suppose i'll do a small intro since i neglected to earlier..
my name is rachael. i live in atlanta. i'm pursuing a masters in social work at georgia state univeristy. prior to that, i earned a b.a. in cultural anthropology at snobby coca-cola university (that would be emory). there i wrote my senior honors thesis about decatur yellow bikes, a local community bicycle sharing program. on grant money, i checked out city bikes in copenhagen, denmark, and i also worked for the atlanta bicycle campaign for a minute as a the girlsbike! club leader and as a suitability map maker. and i used to facilitate clitoral mass, which i think i will start doing again. i ride a spicer fixie and a bianchi brava (although according to infestedguy, i'm not allowed to ride the bianchi anymore.. unless it's raining). so.. in conclusion.. i'm a tiny smart biketista who likes to organize and study things.

Hey folks--I'm Steve, A lead artist at a video game company in Austin, TX. I'm originally from Oly, WA and Seattle, WA where it rained alot. Now im in Austin and it rains sometimes.

I've been riding forever, but always on either a vespa, motorcycle, BMX or MTB. Two years ago I got the bug to get a fixed gear, so I picked a cheap one up off of EBAY. It sucked, but I caught the fever. Two years later, I decided to build my first ground up fixie conversion. I just finished it--1980s era Centurion Lemans with Mavic 3A rims, surly front and rear hubs, brooks saddle, bulls, bulletproof cranks and a 42/16 chainring/cog. It's been an experience, and we're inseperable. I ride it day and night!

I suppose I'll chime in since I've yet to do so. . .
My name is Henry I'm currently working toward a BS/A in marketing and a minor in advertising at Suffolk University Boston (soon to be Madrid). I used to work for City Express here in the city ehhh that place sends shivers down my spine. So now I tutor at the Suffolk University Learning center, no I don't think I'm smart, I just need to do something for money and they let me do whatever the hell I want. I live in a suburb just outside of Boston called Brookline it's nice, quiet, and dangerous for cyclists. For those who know Boston I live about as far from Boston as you can while still being in Brookline or close to the pond and the resivour. I live with my beautiful gearie girlfriend and 3 other friends (only one of which even rides a bike).

hmmm my bike. . . A Blue-ish late 90's khs and a couple of parts bikes.

WithNail, why do you hate city express so much? I might get a job there so I want to know!

hi, my name is michael. i live in providence, on the west side, armory district to be exact. working at a job that pays the bills, currently looking and thinking about what exactly i really want to do. yeah so enough about me.
let's see...my bikes. first off, my fixed gear is a converted mid to late 80's puch 210, bought a rear 27" wheel from harris cyclery with the super nice iro hub. i figured it was easier to keep the bike with 27" wheels since the front was still good. right now i am running 42/15 and i do run a front brake, it is the original weinnmann with a dia-compe mx lever that i had lying around. for my non fixed bikes i have a 70's peugeot 3 speed folding bike in a beautiful almost celeste green, an early 80's legnano (love, love, love it!), a gt ricochet mt bike from the 90's, an 80's cw racing z2000 bmx bike and last but not least my rainy day bike 'virginia', a full fendered, coaster brake beast. whew! so yeah, hi!

Just like any other place that hires newbies they don't give you much work, they treat you like $hit and it has been roumored that they take a lot of money out of your pay check. The good thing is that they give you medical insurance and they take your taxes out for you.

currently studying it ne of london uk. it sucks.

riding my 'dale major taylor as a pub bike. the shame, the shame... and riding heaps around essex on a geared roadie... the shame the shame...

I must say, many Brookline residents with a surfeit of civic pride would take issue with your classifying their thriving, proudly independent town as a mere suburb. Which is not to say it's not true, but watch out for that Brookline mafia!

(As a resident of Somerville, which is clearly a suburb of Boston, I understand how this can be a touchy subject. But we Somervillionaires can take pride in being not only Massachusetts's 12th largest city, but also the MOST DENSELY POPULATED! Eat your heart out, Brockton!)

mpatrick-
i'm not really sure what kind of maruishi it is. track frame, drilled for brakes...not that there will be any. if anyone has any info about this bike, please let me know. i posted it on here before buying, but i still haven't found much info. a pic of the way it looked before i bought it...

As a former Somervillain, boo on you! Somerville is a fiercely independent city ready to defend its freedom from the Bostonian encroachers with force of arms and rusty pickups if need be!

Brookline... Well that place is just obnoxious.

(could I be more off topic?)

hey, my name is Billy. I live in RVA, Richmond, VA. I'm a recent graduate from VCU and have already sold my soul to big business where I dont use either of my degrees. When not slaving for the man I role on a bianchi pista with a GT frame in the works. Love the triple triangle.

Boston Trevor where are you located?
As of tomorrow I'm living back on Mission hill, thats fun to ride up every day...

As a matter of ex somerville pride, first telephone network and it's where Mary (from mary had a little lamb) lived... I always saw it as a I'm a somervillian, not one of those damn commies from Cambridge, ummm sorry The Peoples Republic of Cambridge.

Jackson Square, just a hop-skip-and-a-jump from Mission Hill. (Across the street from the Super Stop & Shop)

On Center St?

Basically.

PS: Centre.

do you do any work with bikes not bombs?

Nah, keeping meaning to stop by, haven't.

Im dave, I live in NYC, produce rock and roll records. Ride a SS langster, looking to buy a second frame which Im gonna set up fixed.
