Manchester Yo Fixie this saturday

Saturday 19th April
2pm outside The Sandbar: Yo Fixie III
An event for fixed gear riders. With comps inc: Track Stand, Track Skid, Sprint and more.
To participate in this event please register ASAP by emailing cantgoslo@gmail.com and cc info@ibikemcr.org.uk

The Sandbar have very kindly agreed to putting on an amazing "street party" type thing at the back of the bar, with a dj and outdoor bar, during the Yo Fixie event so even if you haven't got a fixed wheel bike you can come down and watch the others and socialise with other bike lovers...ace.

who's comin?

I couldn't get across to mcr for the day, was keen to check out the action but other commitments meant it was not possible.

I hope you all enjoyed the afternoon. Maybe next time.
Too much going on down london way for them to bother their asses about any northen events? ;)

Wish I could've been there. I'm living in Teesside right now so not that hard to get over either but I had to go up to Glasgow for the weekend.

Holding a skidding competition on a road that's chocka with traffic seems a little bit...well, daft, if I'm honest. Couldn't you have found somewhere quieter?

besides the road is ours..to take it to a "safer" street or off road wouldn't be the point.

Ha! Or could it be that it's the only road in Manchester that isn't strewn with burnt-out cars? :-)
