I’ve oft claimed on these pages the vast array of fix to be seen here in the Burlington, VT area. So, I’ve decided to just start shooting as I wander my way through winter life in the north country. It’s been pretty balmy and the fix are still out in force. Hell, a lot of these folk ride them all winter. Core.
First up, outside a local bistro, a Pompino, brakeless, with cool slab and cage no-strap pedal set-up. I’ve seen this one a few times, but can’t quite remember who the rider is. Possibly it rides itself ghosty-style?
Not to be overly biased to “single” bikes, I came across this very cute couple. Once again, no riders to be found, so I may be being very presumptuous in assuming the riders are a couple. I have nonetheless seen more women on fix here in B-ton than when I lived in SF. And there were a lot there. VT’ers are just core at all levels. We maybe one of the smallest, most homogenous cultural zones in the US, but I submit that we rock progressive lifestyles with anybody! Anyway. I’ve reason to suspect that the ride in the foreground here belongs to a woman. So, I call it a couple of fix. In any case, enjoy the view:
This thread seems to have me captivated, so these pages are likely to be a bit of a fixed gear gallery for the north country. …..just wandering around town, camera in hand.
Update from the Studio:
As I’ve mentioned, I’m recovering from a terrible bout with bronchial pneumonia. I’m back in yoga after a long layoff—it’s really helping open up the pipes. The Docs have given me the go ahead to ride/run, and this weekend will be (hopefully) my first trail ride in about a month. It’s been a really hard illness. I was truly praying for the end during the Thanksgiving week. Being sick as an “adult” can be just awful. Anyway, now just have to keep taking little steps: ride a bit, walk/run a bit, yoga a lot.
Peace and Light.
