tsimpa kirjutas: the other fixie owner in tartu.

i saw someone riding a fixed bike today around early afternoon on the rajakojeplats. it was a silver grey fame and an old road bike style handle bar. was this you? if not, there is even one more fixed gear rider!

Sorry I don't speak your language (yet!). I just moved to Tartu from Germany and was wondering if there are any fixed bike riders around in Tartu? I am still in the process of building up my first fixie and think that it would be much more fun to ride/practice with someone together. So if ...
