Bikers

[fudger]

Not sure this is the right section for this thread but it's the closest I could find.
so are there any bikers out there?, are there any gay biker clubs?
It's not that i have a fetish or anything like that, I have a bike and enjoy riding and would like to meet like minded people to go on a ride with occasionally. I find getting to know straight bikers hard to do especially as they run a mile once I tell them I'm gay. I know I don't have to mention I'm gay to them but the question always arises "are you married ect" and after being in the closet for so many years I don't like to start a friendship being closeted about it.

so are there any bikers on the forum? male or female.

I have a KHS road bike, a Fuji from the 70s, the brother to the Fuji made into a fixie switch hitter freewheel and the silver Bianchi Pista fixie.
God, I love FIXIES!!!

My little bicycle shop has started their weekly rides and this will be my first one [/COLOR]

[COLOR="Purple"]KHS, Fuji, and Bianchi are all brand names. Bianchi is the oldest existing bicycle manufacturer in the world

All bicycles historically began as fixed gears. Think the childrens tricycle. When you rode a tricycle as a kid if you were going down a fast little hill those pedals didnt stop moving - they went as fast as the rear wheel I ride a road bicycle that is built like that tricycle and I go down much larger hills... A free wheel means that the pedals are not locked to the rear wheel so you can coast. With the correct tools I can remove my rear wheel on the switcher and go from fixed to free.

BLUE is very nice [/COLOR]

OK OK big event in the area...
Tomorrow, despite the foul weather that is being announced by the weather forecasters, it'll take place around the lake in Annecy... The Tour de France is having one of its "against the clock" races tomorrow... I think we are nearing the end of the competition too... There is one quite difficult declivity in the area of Bluffy, above Talloires (see map)... and the whole tour is about 40 kilometres... Lots of tourists and aficionados have invaded Annecy in the last 48 hours, so I shall avoid that town like the plague tomorrow and probably just end up watching it on tv... (if at all). Are any of you interested in the Tour de France???
