How d'you find a fixed-gear in Glasgow? There's an awful lot of very steep hills - do you have to route around them, or is it a matter of having a low enough gear and plenty of patience, or just beasting it up them?
I was asked the same thing by a London courier a while ago! I find it fine and I run a relatively high gear (48x16). There are a few hills that I have to beast up but the more I do them the less beasting is required!
I also forgot to mention, I was supposed to take part in my first TT, being arranged by the Glasgow couriers on the small island of Millport, on Saturday the 2nd. How crap is that timing! Oh well....
I am swaying towards Bob Jackson as they're a bit closer to home, but we'll see.
