I hate fixie bikes….I was visiting my mum in the country and wanted a cheap second hand bike to ride around town. The only one within my budget of under a hundred dollars was a fixie. I only live a few blocks from town so it serves its purpose and i like that its plane looking and doesn’t have stupid colored rims. It has off rd wheels which seems pretty useless. Does anybody go mountain biking with a fixed gear bike? I don’t see the point in having a bike that big without having a few gears you would be better off with a dragster or a bmx. Its functional enough for what i need at my mums but if it ever makes it back to the city with me (highly unlikely) I don’t think ill even bother chaining it up.

We had a great time and were lucky enough to have met the boys along the way. My favorite show was the second night. We were taken by ferry to a floating function center in the middle of Sydney Harbor. It was the only time I’ve been in a venue that literally rocked side to side in the harbor. After the show we had some beers on a roof top balcony with a full view of Sydney Harbor. A beautiful backdrop to an amazing show. Some pics I took are here: 
Something weird that happened in an awesome way is 13 years later I got an email to say id won some custom made quasar sneakers worn on this tour. I had no idea what was going on as i didn’t think id entered any contest. Upon further investigation id discovered by buying re-releases on beastieboys.com id been entered into a prize draw. What a coincidence that out of any prizes I won the very sneakers Id seen being worn on stage all those years earlier :)
