JD here, riding bicycles on the regular since I was four. I have too many AKAs to list. Some know me. Some love me. Some hate me. Some don't care one way or the other. It's all good.

I became addicted to riding fixed gear bikes around 2007, due to a few factors that included residing in the center of an asphalt jungle from 2005-2011. They are easy, cheap, fast and low maintenance like my current daily driver:
