>> Nerve’s dating advice from fixed gear bikers!

What can you tell about the sexual proclivities of a guy who rides:

a road bike?
He’ll need time to adjust as the pace quickens or slows. So give him time, and let him know as he’s approaching a hill.

a mountain bike?
He’ll relish the unpredictable bumps and holes as a chance to test out his shocks.

a fixed-gear?
He wants to keep it simple. He won’t be interested in fancy accessories — he’ll see them as added weight. Also, once he starts, he won’t want to stop!

>> How to stop a fixed gear bike. Wired’s put together a guide — v. necessary since “unless you learn how to stop one of these brakeless wonders, you’re pretty much dead.”

>> Green winter gear recommendations for bicyclists — which’d seem way more useful had we not had such incredibly ot weather the last few days.

>> Ride the Tour de Ballona! Totally loving the cute poster. Oh, and the effort to keep the Ballona Bike Trail open and safe for bicyclists. Much kudos to the organizers!

>> Righteous Metal Broad broke her bike and needs advice. I’m mostly amused that she apologizes for writing that highly offensive word, arsehole :)
