Hello to all Pinoy Fixie viewers!

Thanks for dropping by and welcome to Pinoy Fixie! This page was created with hopes to truly foster all Filipino on and off-road, fixed-gear and single-speed bicycle enthusiasts, mtb’ers, fixie riders, and track cyclists worldwide. From local fun rides, races, criteriums, and especially all disciplines of track racing, to competing at state, national, and regional levels, ultimately to the upcoming Rio Olympics 2016 and beyond by earning qualifying points through international events and all UCI World Cups.

Hopefully you can join us in Pinoy Fixie's Facebook Group. Message me if needed. Just a few requests... no solicitation, profanity, nor posting of any unrelated stuff. Let's be matured and focused even in this virtual world. The sport of cycling still embraces proper etiquette on and off the saddle. Kindly give a short introduction of yourself and start posting. Check out our Facebook Page also for the latest happenings.

Let’s talk about routes you ride, how you trained lately, bike parts you’re curious about or maybe just wanted to pass on or looking for. Share race results, top finishes, and medals earned. Don’t hesitate to post pictures and videos. Let us know any related events you are aware of – past, at this moment, and upcoming.

The goal is to use this social media as a portal to share or gain knowledge and experiences of these specific types of bicycle riding. Most importantly, help, assist, and mentor peers who wants to get started and for those who wants to get to the next level. Let it be known if besides riding or racing...the important side ... reliable mechanics, trusted managers, dedicated trainers, determined coaches, our officials, caring sponsors, and supporters. Hopefully we can create discussions, brainstorm, and find answers and tips from our friends worldwide and from our homeland.

Thank you and maraming salamat sa lahat!

Let's move from Yahoo Group to Facebook

Kumusta sa lahat! It's been a long time since I kept tabs with our Yahoo Group and at PinoyRoadies.org. I really apologize. But hats off to the staff of Pinoy Roadies, they have the persistence and Pinoy Fixie has been seen more than 2,000 times since 5 years ago! Maraming salamat Pinoy Roadies!

 Having spent some time in Facebook, I seems that folks are more familiar with it and do spend more time there (probably just like me). This social media seems to be more robust. During the early days of our YG, I also created a Pinoy Fixie Group in FB but left it alone since I was prioritizing our YG.

 So lately, I checked out our FB group and spruced it up in some way. But instead of creating it specifically for experienced fixed-gear and track cyclists only, I decided to open it up to all levels of fixed-gear, single-speed, on and off road cyclists, even for those who thought or plans to convert their road bike to a single-speed machine. I invited a few friends to check it out with hopes to get a few "likes".

 To this day, I've been getting a lot of requests to join in our YG but almost all are non-experienced track racers and wanted to get started into this type of riding. I feel bad that I turned down those requests. I now believe that it's better to open it up to all enthusiasts for this particular sport/hobby in cycling since Facebook can easily accommodate different topics and a lot more. I'm planning to close our YG by end of May and concentrate in our FB group and page fully.

 Hopefully we can revive Pinoy Fixie once again.

 Salamat!

 Arden
