Beautiful bike! I'm very impressed. Part of me really wants to try one, but the part of me that is clumsy and falls does NOT want to try one.
I'm so proud of you for just getting out there and figuring it out. I'm sure it's a weird sensation not being able to coast. I can't imagine.
What does the bike look like with the bullhorns on?
Congrats!!!

A friend rode a fixie on our Sunday Saunter last Sunday. 10 miles...he's a strong roadie and it was good because it keeps him slow. It was a challenge for him. His bike is new so it was a good ride to try it on. His bike is an IRO. Very nice, but I could tell the flat bars were not doing it for him by the end of the ride. It makes me want to try one, but all the bikes around here are too big for me to try.

That is one nice looking bike. I would not mind trying one, however my middle name is not Grace as in graceful so I may have to pass on this. Have fun!!

That is a truly beautiful bike. I'm insanely jealous. Good for you with the fixie - I've been curious, but I'm also not in the 'graceful' category.
