Hm... fixed was great for building up endurance and strength, and that payoff is *really* obvious on a road bike. You coast less, remain seated more, and really lay down some power.

On another note - I've started to do leg curls at the gym to strengthen my hamstrings. Are there any other cycle-specific weight training routines I should think about adding?
