fixed gear project




So , on top of being super busy, I have decided to start doing a multimedia project on the phenomenon of fixed gear bicycles. This past Sunday a race was organized called CRANK 2 that was opened to any single speed, fixed gear or BMX cyclists. Some 60 participants showed up at the parking lot of seventh and Silver in downtown Albuquerque. I recorded audio as well as took photos of the riders and bikes. It was a great time and next time I cover one of these events I think I will participate. This image shows riders lined up against a wall waiting for the GO signal to run to their bike and read a map where checkpoints where placed throughout Albuquerque. First one with all the check points in hand wins. It was awesome.
