    Just saw this on Indymedia, looks interesting. Obviously not fixed gear exclusive, but definitely bike related.

    BIKE FARM TO HOLD COMMUNITY EVENT
    CELEBRATING GRAND OPENING

    Portland OR May 17th 2008 11pm-6pm

    Bike Farm is a consensus-based, bicycle repair collective open to the
    public. The focus is on affordable access to tools and providing a
    welcoming environment to learn about bicycle maintenance through
    volunteer mechanics. The shop is currently located in a detached garage
    in the Alberta arts district, and open three days a week. Operations are
    sustained through membership, which is available at Yearly ($50),
    Monthly ($20) or Hourly ($5) rates.
    An excited group of community development students from PSU are
    volunteering their time to put together the Grand Opening; a community
    block party. The event will include many interactive booths, an array of
    food, a diverse group of local bands, beer, and an opportunity to
    participate in a touring workshop, from extremely experienced mechanics
    and touring addicts. Space in the workshop is limited so arrive early if
    interested.
    Through this event we hope to promote bicycling as an accessible, easy
    to maintain, and environmentally sustainable means of transportation.
    Our goal is to promote Bike Farm as a vehicle for cost effective and
    easy bike maintenance. Through this promotion, Bike Farm hopes to attain
    a larger member base and with this larger member base, Bike Farm will
    have the ability to move to a larger and more permanent location. This
    new location will allow them to better serve a larger portion of the
    population.
