I feel good
I actually started riding a bike because of knee surgery - stationary bike 1 month after
so about a year after knee surgery I bought a bike from craigslist (langster) and been riding fixed ever since
and just recently got a geared ride, but its not as fun
just finished my first fixed build a month ago
i love this sh-- im hooked to fixed and road riding
i feel like a kid again
havent really played basketball since
editing to say that I ride clipless fixed and my knees feel better for it
of course there was a learning curve which really forces you to correct your pedaling into real circles if you really pay attention
as for skidding, well its easier clipless and I dont do it much (tires are expensive) , thats what makes it fun
Id post a pic of my current fixed gear but I know Ive overposted it in multiple threads: black bikes, fg photos , reflective tape, do not buy tommaso augusta, what dont you like about my bike, felt brougham... maybe more
what was the OP asking again?
oh yeah,
ride em if you got em, who cares how old you are
