any tickets?


Do you mean, tickets for sale to be a spectator....
Or speeding tickets?

Or just a "ticket to ride"?

Just got back from 26 mile fixie fix. Rode from my place to Blue Lake and back. No tickets for me. I've got a brake on my front wheel.

Did the Bridge Pedal today. I orginally signed up to do the 8 bridge route, but changed my mind at the starting area and opted to do the 10 bridge route. Between riding my bike to the start & back home again, plus the Bridge Pedal (34 miles), I rode over 40 miles today. All on my fixed gear. And yes, I held my breath the entire ride.

Rode approx 15 miles on the my single speed during the hottest part of the day.

I heard the best description of fixed gears yet - It's like riding a bicycle that you don't have to pedal.

Got another double digit ride in early this morning. Am I the only one getting any exercise lately? I'm about to purchase some Honjo fenders (not the smooth ones either) for my fixie so I can keep this up all winter too.


Soon as the rain comes back I'm back in the Yoga studio

I also drank a few pints of beer and ate a huge steak last night. NY Strip slightly more than rare. Tonight was a veggie stir fry with a Boddingtons Pub Draught.

Several long & hard fixter rides recently. Last night was 18 miles that included the on ramp to the St Johns bridge.

Do any of you fixie riders cycle for fun or just transpo?
