About

Fixed Gear Republic is here to connect international fixed gear riders. The international connection is the most interesting and rewarding element of social networking. We've put together a site where people can easily contact people with a similar interest (riding fixed gear bikes) from all around the world.

After graduating from University of California, Santa Barbara (UCSB) in Global & International Studies, I made my way to Denver, CO. I connected with a local bike co-op and put together my bike and was there to help when a hand was needed for other riders.

My fixed gear was my primary mode of transportation and I quickly learned how much fun they were to ride. It felt good to know that I wasn't burning up gas on the way to and from work and the only thing burning was my legs.

I've lived in Seville, Spain, and Santiago, Chile, and I am passionate about connecting people from different cultures around the world. I currently live in Costa Rica, working for Costa Rica Outward Bound, an international non-profit that focuses on outdoor education.

The goal: to use this website as a resource for not only information about fixed gears, but also for connections to the many people and cultures around the world who ride fixed gear bikes. You can find me here in Costa Rica at the Velodrome outside of San Jose, or at any of the beaches surfing.

Enjoy the site, tell a friend.

Cheers,

Greg Albritton
