Fixed gear goodness.
Andy dropped in just then to show off his new Surly Steamroller. It’s got a flip flop hub on it but the boys at MC Cyclery forced him to ride it fixed! It’s nuts. I had a little go outside and damn it’s a freaky experience.
1) I found it hard to even get my 2nd foot into the toe clips as they couldn’t stop spinning!
2) Cornering with a toe clip out meant scraping Andy’s lovely new MKS toeclips into the ground.
3) Even with brakes I found it hard to stop. I tried to stop without the brakes (just using my legs) and it was impossible!!!
Excitement!
