i personally find it easier to maneuver through the walking people on campus on the fixed, because of the low-speed control thing, but that's just me.

Denton to Dallas and back - Any route recs?

I'm thinking straight over on 380 then down 289 into Uptown would be a way to go. Haven't driven 289/Preston that long though so I'm not really sure how safe that would be.

I hate mapping out...

I built up a fixed gear last month on a bottom-rung 80s Centurion frame. Decent bike, but the geo is pretty lazy, and its relatively heavy compared to what's out there now. I'm not a weight freak,...
