Learning to ride fixie again
It's been a few years since the last time I rode a fixie. I'm buying One that I put together tomorrow and I will be riding it to school mostly and maybe weekend rides. Anyway, I went for a ride on my other bike this morning and I challenged myself to ride without coasting. Needless to say I couldn't do it. I've gotten to used to coasting up to stoplights, out of the driveway, tight turns, etc. I know there is a learning curve with any new bike but I can figure most things out on my own. What are your top tips for relearning/beginning fixie riders.
I'll post a pic of the bike once I get it tomorrow. I put a modern wheel set on it, drop stem, flat bars (for now- I plan on getting bull horns soon), sugino rd2 messenger crankset (46t), fixed cog and freewheel sprocket (both 16t). Is 46/16 what most of you use for roads?
TIA, josh
