dog solitude - my converted nishiki fixed gear.
this is an old photo - it's got a pink chain & griptape now, and i'm riding 44:16.
i've got a front brake... i'm not quite badass enough for brakeless riding... especially not in a city as hilly as vancouver!
i liked cycling before i started riding fixed, but i didn't LOVE cycling. now, i feel like my bike is an extension of my body... i have such control over it, and can feel myself gliding over the road in a way i couldn't before. it's been a year now and i'm still in love - i just have to make sure i don't bust up my knees..!
i find that riding hills is SO much easier and more pleasant than it was before. my bike weighs practically nothing so pulling it up even the steepest hills is a breeze.
