However when I moved to Crown Heights (crazy hills and terrible traffic) it just wasn’t as safe as there were barely any bike lanes. I gained weight and my bike collected DUST.

Now that I’m in LA, I am compelled by the sun to get out and without a car I want to see the city without using a car service all the time. Plus I’m itching to lose the weight I’ve gained.

Long story short... I’m a just a fixie biker looking for another fixie biker to go on some rides with and shed some poundage in the meantime.

Bike: I have a Mercier Kilo TT but might be upgrading to the Pro in the next few weeks.
