First day fixed riding report...

So it was a humid 88 degrees here in St. Louis and I decided to take my new Moto Track out. I took the factory cages and straps off and replaced them with my Spds from my road bike. Put the front brake on and off I went. Wow! Fixed gear riding is not for the faint of heart. I forgot i couldn't coast a dozen times. I couldn't get my brake and feet to work in harmony. I felt a burning pain in my legs from going up hills that I haven't felt in years. No problems with the clipless pedals though. This is gonna take me more road time to get used to handling not being able to coast.
