What are you drunk? There are rides happening all of the time on both the calender here and other places plus there have been several alleycats this winter.

I know plenty of people who ride year round, myself included; if you can't find rides it is not because they aren't happening or people aren't out there it's because you aren't trying.

Nice to see a video of someone riding and not just sitting on their butt talking about riding like so many do here in Chicago…

People here sit and complain about biking but bike very little in this city…

The lack of cool events shows…few good events in Chicago period…

Whatevah. I have drank enough Malort to kill most mortal men and I know how to find rides and people to ride with; and I don't even smell pretty.

I flipped and love it though trying skid stops while inebriated is no so much


I am riding one handed for 4~6 weeks....but STILL RIDING!

Alright. Since this thread has been going on for so long, you've inspired me to try riding fixed for I guess a 4th time. I got a fresh new dura ace cog and lockring in a lucky parts box CL purchase; no reason not to flip the wheel and try again. Make way for the geriatric fixie rider.
