Hey all, Im kinda new to the forums and riding fixed gear bikes, I bought a Bianchi Pista a couple weeks ago and im doing about 200 miles a week, I found one person who I ride with sometimes, me and him want to get a bunch of riders together and ride. Im currently living in Evanston and I work at Clark and Chicago Ave. Anyone into doing some riding or maybe setting up a group or something hit me up. Send a PM.

over/under on number of responses he gets from you chi-town boys considering his tag line is PiMpIn....?

Anyone have any ideas?

Well, I'm always up for group rides. I suck at organizing, though, so that part is probably best left to others.

history suggests chicago rides dont happen, its a curse

They happen, it's just sort of hit and miss.

They are myth based in a sliver of truth. They happen when they are just out of your peripheral vision. You turn your head and they are gone.

It's simple - as al5 was telling me a few days ago (as we were riding! in person!) it's just a matter of someone saying, "I'll be here at this time and this place, be there or don't."

But who will step up to the plate...

I live north of evanston, and there are a lot of lyra-wearing riders on exotic-material-road bikes that go from Evanston or Wilmette north along sheridan road. I like to use the weekend rides to train for the commute, so do the sheridan road loop pretty early on Saturdays and Sundays.
anyone interested in the "hell that is the suburbs?"

Want to get riders to show up? Start/Finish the ride at a bar. Always works for me.

I am up for this Sunday - depending on your definition of "early" and flexibility with time. Anyone else?

Im always up for training rides, but Sunday's are off-limits for long distances. Bike Polo!!!

although Saturday may work...

time and place in PM please...I need to snap some pics

Anyone interested in some riding on the South Side, or in the South suburbs? I'm in Beverly and don't know any other fixie riders, but am guessing most of you are around the loop or northwards.
