Philly cheese steak gets exported to UK

Tom LaMarche, the Philly fixie sensation, has been "signed" to the UK's Charge bike team... based largely on the popularity of this YouTube Video.



Three things: Not clear what an urban fixie rider will do for Charge exactly.

Two, catching this much air is a great way for a fixie rider to get to coast for a few fractions of a second.

Third, why hasn't the world's greatest fixie rider been signed yet? Just cos she ain't street? Sheesh, she doesn't wear a helmet either (although we suspect that IS Spandex).
