WTF

Started riding the bike to work again today… Every taxi made a point of showing me how suicidal that actually is.
Apart from that it is a rather bad idea to not touch a bike for 12weeks when you’re past 40! Muscle memory at this age means you still remember the thighs you had three months ago!
Be that as it may, the official Ollo Wine to Whales ( or is that whine to Wales, Leo??) training phase has thus started…
Progress will be slow and hard but anything is possible!
Girvin flexstems are rather nice on a fixie by the way!

Year Zero

So, having some drinks with some mates earlier today and it was decided that the German needed a helping hand (a foot in the bum more like) to get some sort of online presence going.

This is it, we’ll work on it, he’ll work on it and it will be cool, obviously.

What is Crosstown about? Riding fixies, riding singlespeeds, talking a bunch of poo, having a good time, oh yeah, he also builds and fixes bikes for and with us. Who are we? Well, we’re the other side of cycling, we like to call it riding, we ride jump bikes, fixticles (fixies), singlespeeds and we do it, well because we dig it.
