    is cirque du soleil in town?

    a good sense of equilibrium and especially being relaxed ftw. You can control the front wheel and a brake with one hand easily enough. Did the road have even a slight upward incline where she was? That makes it easier with a freewheel. It’s easier on my fixie ….I just instinctually shift a little pressure between pedals and use the front wheel to stay balanced and upright. I can feel the moments that would allow me to let go of the handlebars and stand/sit upright for a moment but I don’t feel the need to do that very often at all...even for fun! I do track stands mostly at just stop signs and when I want to feel that concentration on my fixie. There’s a lot of fixie riders here so maybe the influence to do track stands is higher.

    I'm old, but not too old to try new tricks. Been mostly a roadie all my life, but may give it a try on the fat bike.
