Fixie Food For Thought
To disable ads, please log-in.
I was chatting with an employee at my LBS who was the state champion for the 10 mile time trial yesterday and he gave me some interesting food for thought. He was telling me that at the time of winning that race he was riding 50 miles every morning on his fixie, which forced him to ramp up his cadence and never coast. He admitted, of course, that it was a hard transition over and he had some big crashes off the bike as he had to get used to not coasting. In any case, he recommended trying it to me because for him it took him to a much stronger level of cycling (although he continued to note that it is a completely different type of riding). Anyways, I just wanted to share that food for thought with you ladies and hear your thoughts.
Life goes by pretty fast. If you don't stop and look around once in a while, and do whatever you want all the time, you could miss it.
