For those who don't live in London

Hi all, this is my first post, so I'll tell you a little about myself...
My name's Ben, 17, live in North Birmingham. Haven't been riding fixed for long but love it all the same. Anyway........................
Wondering if you Londoners might take pity on those of us who don't live in the capital who still ride fixed/if anyone on here lives in west Mids. Thought there could maybe be a sticky for people outside London because I know that I at least still visit this site for mechanics info etc. Would be good to see if anyone else near me rides fixed (tractor-style MTBs are popular round here), maybe even organise some bike polo or something. I know that this is LONDON fgss but couldn't find a 'restoftheuk fgss' on the net. Anyway just thought I'd suggest it, see what you think

Hey Ben, change the thread title to the area you want to find people and then subscribe to the thread so that you get email alerts. We'll get indexed on Google, someone will find it and respond, and then you can all go ride somewhere or start playing polo.

Hey Ben,
I'm also a non Londoner (although I did once live in London). Should'nt let the fact that your else where get in the way of you enjoying the forum...
Must say I like the idea of getting everyone outside of the capital together for our own small town polo. I know ther are a couple of us from Cambridge on here and I think Macey-B is from Wolverhampton so sort of your neck of the woods.

I've got something in the works right now centred around Glasgow. Obviously of no use to you but just thought I'd take this oppertunity to let people know. It's still very much a work in progress and google doesn't like anything but the first page so far.

Right now I'm in Teesside but in August I'm moving back up to Glasgow. Hopefully I'll get over for the Manchester events in April.
