"Learned there was a new fixie site while reading the BRAIN this am. Bookmarked your site before it was even fully loaded. Deleted the bookmark a few minutes later when I discovered the site was like most nowadays, just a lot of silly juvenile shit. I guess the tattoo mention should have been a tipoff. So that's a shame. I was a cat 2 trackie in the 70s, and ride the snot out of my 4 fixies here in moab, but I didn't see anything on your site to make me want to come back.

Dear “Guys"-
I used to have a haircut like the guy in “Breaking away.”
A belt buckle from 1978 that said “YES” and a vintage jean jacket.
My 10 Speed had a removable aluminum water bottle.
I came here thinking I’d be hanging out with others like me.
What I found was a fancy pants blog that caters to people who
like to watch videos of skateborading dogs.
I’m going to myspace everyone I know.
When I get mad I ride my bike!
Juvenile ish, eh? I’m only 30 so maybe I don’t understand....when you get older is it required that you become a miserable, falsely-entitled prick who doesn’t like to have fun riding bikes? Man, if that’s true, I’m in a lot of trouble.
Matt for the win! Ha-ha!
Juvenile? get a life, er rather a sense of humor, old fart. I’m in my 50’s and raced cat 1, own 10 bikes and love this site. by the way, moab was nothing in the 70’s, no fixies, no mountain bikes(they didn’t exist). Btw, was nothing but coyotes, tumbleweeds, and drunk, lsd, peyote chewing, pot smokin, college kids from colorado on spring break! That’s probably why your facts are distorted,bro.
Even an old roadie gets a kick out of your work here. Yeah, not only do i cut my own hair, i shave....
ciao y’all
