Quick bio: I was born in New Zealand but I moved to Australia as a baby. As a kid, my Father was in a band called Fraternity and I shared a house with the singer, Bon Scott. Then the band moved to England and split up (Bon went on to AC/DC and a drunken death). Most of my childhood was in Hounslow in West London. THere I went to Alexandra Junior School and Hampton School. My late teen years and twenties were in Sydney, Australia. I had three years of High School at North Sydney Boys High. I have a BSc (Hons) from the University of NSW (CompSci) and a BSc from Macquarie University (Maths). I moved to Seattle, USA in 1996 and then moved to Southwest France in 2009.
I like riding bikes, talking a lot and thinking hard about why things happen the way they do. I have a soft spot for fixies, although the fashion fixie is just ludicrous. If you don’t know me this blog could be dull, dull, dull.
my anti-fixie stance was to absolutely no avail apparently… ah well, have fun not working, try not to post more than 4 or 5 times per day… why do I feel like I am signing your year book?
The fixie is still the most ridden bike. It just works. You know you really want one.
Hi Brent,
I just googled you name and having read your blogs I’m guessing that you are the same Brent Curtis that I went to school with in Sydney. If you are, I’d really like to catch up – it’s been years since you left for the States.
If so, send me an email.
Thanks
Simon
