Ehh, several rides in the last two weeks including a tandem ride or two, but had just as much fun today on a 12 mile ride on my new fixie. hehe! Listen to me ... "fixie". I sound like the kid with the orange hair and nose ring that thinks tatoos, dreadlocks, pants patches and beer have something to do with cycling!
I haven't been on a track bike in probably 25 years, and I had forgotten how hard it is not only to climb with just one gear, but to descend with no freewheel! Only did "the roadie thing" 3 minor times, (none resulting in an FDGB), and then the memory seemed to come back.
But oh boy! Is having a fixed gear on the road ever going to get this member of Team OFMIS, (Old Fat Men In Spandex), back in shape fast!
