Haha, fun time on the fixies. I remember the first time I went on a real ride on my fixie I was coming up on a bumpy section that I had ridden who knows how many times and habitualy tried to coast over them. All I know is somehow I didn't crash, but there's nothing like being picked up and tossed by your pedal.

As for clipless I grew up with them mountain biking, so only the trees have seen my antics. Lets just say there are a lot of trees that could tell stories if they had mouths.
