SoCalCross

John, over at ProllyisnotProlly, had made an awesome post about SoCalCross, a cyclocross event ridden strictly on track bikes. The significance is in the difficulty of such an event. A normal cyclocross race is usually done on geared cyclocross bikes or even mountain bikes with suspension, on a dirt course that has hills and obstacles requiring the rider to dismount and shoulder their bike while they run/jump over said impediments. Doing this on a track bike is so much rougher: lack of suspension, lack of brakes, no freewheel, and only one gear!

One of the riders was this gentleman:



Drop handlebars on his authentic, brakeless track bike. It's a great image.
I hope to still be riding strong at his age!

Survey time

I would like to know how many people in our class can ride a bike, and if they can, when they learned. So, please take a look at the survey here!

Whether you can or cannot, will be answered by adding a value of 1 to either Yes or No.

As for whether you can remember when you learned how to ride... not everyone can remember such a specific detail, so answer as best as possible.
