Dude Chicago has an amazing fixed bike gear scene and the whole city is amazing to bike through. I would ride every day and explore all around and the Monday night rides, and bike lanes make everywhere fun to go. Definitely a great town to move to and I hope you do
It was a pleasure meeting/riding with you zach. We took off fast and quite earlier than we needed to so apologies for that. Hope to see you next time bro 🤙
The Chicago scene is small, but growing, and it is real. I love it. I only recently started going to alleycats, but have been riding fixed since I was a teenager and have only met wonderful people.
How small are we're talking? I mean NYC is certainly on another level than any other city in the US (and probably worldwide) but what other cities in the US have a bigger scene than Chicago?
It’s always been around I felt like 2014-2018 were the years I seen more fixie riders but people started growing up and stopped riding and now it’s starting to grow again
@@FernandoHernandez-jw4yy I've seen turnouts to events and meetups drop over time, I feel like things are picking up again in the last couple years though.
Nice ride, Zach!!!!😀 I definitely miss riding that LSD (Lake Shore Drive) route on a daily basis when I was in the south side (Hyde Park-University of Chicago) to Evanston-Northwestern University. It was good training 😀 Thanks for visiting my hometown and the group ride🌼 To bad I was not there 😊 Peace
hope you come back to chicago some time soon ! i remember seeing this ride and feeling major fomo , couldn't get out there cause of a bad case of stress fractures T_T
Remember getting my first fixed gear bks of this guy, I was 13-14 and had a great time till I was 18 and bought my motorcycle, I must say I still look at my aluminium, brakeless, carbon seat bicycle as a piece of art in the garage now, defo need to hang it up in my bedroom. Stay safe Zach
Chicago's scene is amazing if you know where to go

Hey that’s me on the yellow bike at 0:07. The ride was fun. Everyone was so fast. It ended up taking me like an hour to get to the fountain.

@@WBJepsen Schwinn high sierra
@@Somebodycousin uh nice, singlespeed converted?
@@WBJepsen fixed. I put a 6 bolt cog on the disc mount of a 26 freehub body wheel. Replaced the qr skewer with a regular axle. Works a treat.
