New Pake Fixed Gear Bike
I have been reading a lot about off season training and it appears a lot of professional/serious riders do some fixie riding. I figured I did it as a kid, so why not check it out again. I called Gary from Bodacious Bikes up about two weeks ago and asked him what he thought. He said he thought it was a good idea, it would help my peddle stroke, build some muscle and provide a change of pace. That all jived with that I had been reading so I headed over to Gary’s and gave him a general direction of what I wanted. I wanted a nice one, but not so nice that if I scratched it that it would matter terribly, but good enough that if I ever did want to take it to the track I could. Gary put some cool specs together and here is how it turned out. Pretty sweet! I put a few miles on it today to see how it felt, feels like it wants to have some fun!

Why Bikes are Stolen and What Happens to Stolen Bicycles
Having your bike stolen sucks. I never leave my road bike where I am not with in a few feet of it. I would not even leave it locked up because it would get stolen. When I take it somewhere it lives inside my truck unless I am on it or can see it. So why do people steal bikes? Where do stolen bikes go? Here is a great article that explains it, worth the read to get in the mind of the jerks that find it fun to steal bikes.
