When did you get into cycling and why?

Early 2011, I was looking for a bike to use on my way to work and some friends showed me a fixed gear.
I felt a great desire to ride those bikes and become a part of that culture. Three months later, I bought my first fixed gear.

Where would you say is the best place to ride? Any Place you wanna visit?

Brazil is really hard to ride. The traffic is very violent and most drivers don't have proper education with cyclists.

Most of roads have potholes and are uneven. In my opinion, Switzerland should be one of the best places to ride. I took three trips there and it's wonderful.

I'd really love to visit France someday since it looks like wonderful place to ride.

How do you take your coffee?

Black coffee without sugar.

Walk us through a day in the life of Marlon Hammes.

I wake up at 7am, prepare my coffee and use my commuter to go to work.
I work for about 9 hours a day. I'm a creative illustrator of a fashion brand.
