Cog Magazine, issue #6
So I finally got my happy hands on a copy of COG Magazine, issue number 6. Most of you have become familiar with this magazine lately, it is one of the few magazines that are actually printed on paper dedicated to this Fixed Gear Culture. Pushbike Shop had blogged that COG magazine just arrived at their shop, so without hesitation I rushed out from work trying to get to the shop before their gates slam closed at 7pm sharp. I went in the shop and saw Ian and Sarah getting ready to leave for their weekely ride and promised I would be quick. They were kind enough to let me grab a couple; one for me and another one for me.

As per my usual morning routine of taking the shame-train in to work, making an espresso with 4 sugar packets, eating saliva with a side of Tylenol for breakfast, and then finally sitting down to peruse whatever there might be over at Trackosaurus Rex, I was puzzled to find there are now two new books competing for the ever elusive title of “most credible thing on the streets.” You know, this subculture really does care about who has paid their dues, and who has not — who is an outsider looking in, and who happened to be in from the beginning. It makes for a nasty mess of in-fighting and back-biting, to be quite honest.
