Free stuff

Riding to work every day is good because it gets me there in 10 min. whereas walking takes 30. And, because I dont have any gears (well 1 actually) I get to strain my b******s when pedalling up hill, especially on the way back, which is the right way round to do it 'cos then I don't get sweaty on the way in....enough said! BUT, when the local constabulary give me £25 worth of bike lock for getting my beater tagged then that is what I call value for money - 4 bikes (and 4 locks) to go then!

One sprained ankle

Not bad considering I've been riding to work on the fixie; it doesn't half kill the knees though. Plymouth being hilly there is simply no ideal gear, esp. when the wind blows making downhill up and uphill walking. Geeting fit though.

Going Fixed

Long time no post. Well, the upshot is I'm fixing up a fixed wheel bike, my fixie project if you like. Partly because I have an old crapped-out mtb frame doing nothing and partly because it's urban cool...oh and 'cos it keeps me fit. So watch out for the fixed experience coming soon.
