Actually, claiming that you were into fixies before they were cool might mark you as a hipster...

I hope not. I think that if I've been into it then it can't be cool.

edit : There's a great line from "Hitchhiker's Guide... " by Zaphod : "You guys are so unhip it's a wonder your bums don't fall off"

You reckon?
About as much as I will be, I'd say.
Which doesn't amount to much.

Indoors too...

Cycling is far more dangerous than climbing ever was!

Since this is now a cycling site, I can show my collarbone from racing on the velodrome last Tuesday night...

I race road, track and now CX plus commute fixed... Happy with any style rebirth of Chockstone as a cycling site.

Thanks dalai, and thanks ajfclark for the clear link.

Why do you like me dalai?
I'd have thought most would have labeled me as a troll, and would be ignoring my posts.
You are obviously more liberal than I thought.

Talking about trolls.
ambyeok, please get a life.
Chocky will be alive and kicking long after your sorry carcass has finished climbing.
