Fiftieth Fixie


It had to happen sometime: I hit 50. Not downhill on a bike, or in a cricket match, but 50 years of age - yikes!
Anyways, I celebrated watching the last games of the Six nations down the pub, which was good enough. But then, my mates presented me with a bike! And what a beauty; a sweet singlespeed with a flip/flop hub so I can ride it fixed if I want to. Add in a Brooks saddle, deep rims and chrome forks and it looks the bizzo. Best of all, it's been branded Luigi 5-0, so it's even got my name on it.
It's already proving perfect for my commute to work down the A41 and everyday I throw my leg over the saddle puts a big smile on my face.
Thanks guys, I love it.
