I'm a Drexel guy but I'm not taking classes right now. But why are you just looking for college kids?
Anyway I've been thinking about getting a ride goin. We had one last spring but nothing since then. I'm up for anything in nights or weekends.

I'll be back at Drexel this coming Monday. I commute, but I'll be taking my bike down some Tuesdays and Thursdays. Now let's stop talking about Drexel before it makes me sick.

There are bicycle club of philadelphia rides that start from the Italian fountain behind the art museum on Thursday nights at 6, Sundays at 12, and more. I enjoy their training rides.

I go to Drexel too. Judging from the bikes I see parked on campus, I think there are a relatively large number of people at Drexel that ride fixed (compared to other schools).

OOPS. It isnt brown - it is yours I am talking about. You showed it off in the dark outside the copshop when I had been drinking a few weeks back. I ended up drinking more. That is a beautiful bike - I wish my bike was made by Socialists.
