Michael does more to convince young riders that cycling is “the way to go” than anyone I know. He deserves to win the Fixie.

Fixie Addendum

Here’s another reason why winning a fixie would be wonderful. I know from classroom experience that it’s tough for a thirteen-year old to see the practical application of a well-placed comma or a meticulously chosen adjective. I’m regularly challenged with the belligerent question, “Mr. Mann, why do we have to learn this stuff?” How cool would it be if, in reply, I could just point at the picture of my new fixie on my desktop and say, “You know, learning to write well could help win you a splendid fixed-gear bike like mine!”

I’m with you. It feels good to ride a simple bike, less bike. I think you are deserving…of less. Good luck and thanks for the words Mike.

Mike,

You need the fixie, great essay! But more than a microbrew? Even after a long hot day chasing hills? To each his own.
