fixed gear bike for excercise
so i mainly use my bike for commuting, making a living (on occasion), tom foolery, etc. with the good fortune of getting unemployment for the next 6 months and going to grad school in 5 months, i have decided to get into shape and i figure my bike is a great way to do it.
anyway, what are your cardio routines? whats all this about target heart rate? how many minutes, how many days a week, etc.

Ride for an hour or so until lost. Find your way home without asking for directions. Fun!

The most basic workout ive done on the fixie is get up to over 20mph and stay there as long as possible.
When you have to stop, sprint back up to speed.
