it’s possible to let your legs ho limp on the fixie and have the pedals do your work for a bit, but in general I thought I was doing a lot more work riding fixed. but then again i’m just a noob.
what has your experience been?
When I first started riding fixed I definitely noticed right away how much I had previously been coasting. After riding fixed for about two months it became ingrained in me to keep pedaling even when riding freewheel bikes. I mainly ride freewheel now but my cadence is greatly improved.
