Tell them I sent you - and if you can make it back to the Melbourne CBD (legally) in 25min you must be a taking helicopter.

Tell them I sent you.

Hi Andy,

Thanks for the FYX.KOM shirt. It arrived Monday and it looks great!

My wife got the package from the postie and was immediately curious about its origin. Who's this Fyxomatosis person? Is she your mistress? And what's she sending you?!

In response to your FYX demographic query last week, I do treat your website like a mistress. Every day, on numerous occasions, I sneak a few minutes with her when things are slow and no one's watching. And when my brain starts to tire from maths, it wanders and wonders whether she has anything new to reveal. A click on Refresh and I'm usually satiated for another hour or so. Although, it is getting more difficult to stay away with all the new attire you've dolled her up in lately. She's looking good.

I have no idea how we met. Perhaps we were introduced by a mutual friend - Ride magazine; perhaps I just bumped into her on the web; perhaps we were matched by the Google speed dating service. Whatever way it was, I'm glad it happened.

As for the real me, I have no history with track racing, courieringering, fixed speed bikes, or restorations. I have a road bike that I bought in the Netherlands in 1995: a Koga Miyata - NO cycling royalty there. I just like my bicycle, I like riding, and I like your perspective on the marriage of bikes and life. Chapeau to you and your website.

A few final points:

1. Thanks for removing the ambiguity about fyxomatosis and Shifterbikes. But who's TC?

2. Those stools are the most wonderful things I've seen in a while.

3. Encourage Mrs Fyx to contribute more. The photos of her chicken and peas creation are sensational.
