is really weird after a year of nothing but fixed riding. i can't get into the clips very quickly, i clipped a pedal twice today cuz i forgot to coast through turns, i felt a general lack of control, and when i coasted, i had to remind myself i was still on a bike, still needing to, you know...be mindful, cuz as soon as my legs stopped moving, my mind shifted to "off the bike" mode.

it kind of reminds me of what a lot of people say it's like to learn to ride fixed.

i guess, on the upside, i was flying. i guess i oughta up the gear ratio on my fix.
