i remember my first ride.... was hauling serious butt when i let up to coast through a light. thank god my legs just kept going and i didn't fall off.

recently got my girl on one... it was either pink wheels or a geared bike. she wanted pink, the wheelset had a fixed/fixed hub. i didn't have a freewheel lying around in a decent ratio, so she had to go fixed. she has only fallen once, trying to ride no hands. she seems to like it. she will be learning to skid for v-day, then a ride out to the damn.
