After moving to NYC for the summer, I found myself in need of a new bike. The bike I rode across the country last summer was always a little too small for me, and after growing about half an inch in the last year, it really doesn't fit me anymore. I was going to bring a bike to NYC for commuting, but it got stolen out of my car when I was visiting San Francisco. Luckily the one that got stolen was kind of a piece of junk. It was a fixed gear strapped to a cheap origin8 frame. The one thing I liked (and now miss) were the larger volume tires and the wide mountain bike handlebars. There's something about rolling around on a fixed gear with wide-ass bars that just puts a smile on my face.
