Finally got my fixed gear build assembled to the point of being ridable this week. Went 15 miles on a familiar loop. What a blast! I built with no brakes so I could get the full experience. I was able to stay in control the entire time. I even goosed it a few times. I had one steep-ish downhill that required a hard left at the bottom and that took some thinking, but I pulled it off. What absolute and total fun. I wish I knew about fixed gear bikes long before now. I am so late to the party. Track-stands and backwards circles - here I come. It's kind of like learning to ride a bike for the first time - again.

Please excuse child-like excitement.
