reporters don't usually know anything about a particular topic until they're assigned to write about it, then they learn as much as they can in 36 hours, write something, and move on. from that perspective, i think the article was pretty good.

Anyway, maybe I will just go the "sharpie marker and white tshirt route.... what size shirt you wear?

i think it's pretty mainstream now. when i first rode in boston in 98 my roomate said when he started couriering (1990) there where maybe 2 or 3 people riding fixed, everyone rode mtbs. point...everyone rode fixed when i started riding downtown.

maybe (mainstream) moreso in boston area than down here.
