First time on a bike in 10 years
Hey guys. I’m from Portland Oregon and have just recently picked up a fixed gear Bianchi off craigslist. I haven’t been on a bike in at least 10 years since I used to ride BMX. I can’t post pics here yet but you can check out my IG if you’re interested in seeing my bike. @golden__eye

Welcome. I ride my fixie so little, I often forget and do dumb things like trying to take a quick break from seated by standing on the pedals.

Greetings!
You’re gonna love fixed. And if you don’t, you can just run it freewheel. Win-win!
