well, like kyle said, a lot of us go around. if im going from point a to point b, i take short cuts or sideways routes to get there. you learn shortcuts, valleys... i only climb the big hills when im riding for the sake of riding.
that and legs of steel. id love to ride around somewhere flat for a while, it sounds fun.
im playing... im not the strongest rider in the world and never pretend to be. fixed is a really fun way to get around this town though, control is more important than power. its a technical thing... its fun.
